New Hampshire licenses Life as a major line of authority. An ordinary first-time resident applicant must pass the applicable examination and apply for the producer license. The standalone Life examination is PSI series 12-61; combined Life, Accident and Health or Sickness series 12-63 is an alternative. New Hampshire does not require a prelicensing study course. The state application and license fee is $210. No current official instruction reviewed directs an ordinary applicant to a separate fingerprint appointment or publishes a fingerprint charge. Resident producers renew biennially for $150 and complete 24 continuing-education credits, including at least 3 and no more than 10 ethics credits, at least 60 days before expiration.
