The state of Hawaii has no formal pre-licensing education requirement however it is recommended as the prelicensing course is designed to prepare candidates for the State Licensing Examination.

• Life Only  
• Accident & Health Only  
• Casualty  
• Property 
• Personal lines 

• This is a forced progression (locked) state that requires the student to review each lesson and pass each of the chapter quiz before moving onto the next section/chapter. 
• Assessments on key topics throughout the course must be successfully passed with a minimum score of 70% before moving onto the next chapter. 

• Registration must be completed online on Pearson Vue website: www.pearsonvue.com/hi/insurance
•  Exam fee: $75 (Candidates may take up to TWO examinations during one exam session) 
• OnVUE fee: $75 (Exams cannot be combined) 

• There are no limitations on retaking the exam. 
• Candidates must wait at least twenty-four (24) hours before contacting Pearson VUE to make a reservation to retake an examination. 

• You must check the compatibility of your computer before registering for the exam. https://home.pearsonvue.com/hi/insurance/onvue
• If your computer is not compatible with the online software, you will need to schedule your examination at a Pearson Vue test center.
• Candidates who take an online proctored exam and do not pass must wait 2 weeks to retest for that exam on OnVUE if this is their first time taking the exam using this method. Any additional OnVUE retests after the first OnVUE retest will require the candidate to wait 4 weeks after each subsequent not pass result.

• Schedule your fingerprint appointment online at http://www.fieldprintshawaii.com.
• Use code: HI-DCCA-INS which identifies the Insurance Division
• Fingerprint Fee: $8.95 plus tax and fees

• Be sure to take advantage of XCEL’s 3-Part training program, including Part 2 (Prep Review Course) and Part 3 (Exam Simulator). These are the two sections we hear from students value the most during the exam waiting period. 
  
  • Prep Review Course: This part of the training scales down content to focus solely on the most important material with weighted sections identical to the state exam. Chapters have only a few pages of material, but the content must be mastered to pass. Instructionally designed to teach individuals how to pass, most study effort should be invested here. Chapter exams are substantially larger (50+ questions), providing exposure to the types of questions seen on the state exam.
  • Exam Simulator: These special exams are designed to gauge content retention levels. Important: Only take the Exam Simulators after the Prep Review Course has been successfully completed. It ensures these questions will be “fresh in the mind.” 
• On the day of testing, you must present two (2) forms of identification bearing your signature, one of which must be a valid government issued photo id. 

• Submit license application electronically through NIPR – https://nipr.com/
• Application fee – 2021 Fee Schedule
• NIPR verifies exams prior to allowing submission of an application.
