In practice, who typically makes the initial request to obtain an agent's license?

• A. The prospective agent
• B. The insurer
• C. The title company
• D. The public

Answer: (A)

The person who wants to work as an agent starts the process. The prospective agent submits the license application to the state licensing authority (and completes any required exams, background checks, and fees). An insurer or title company may sponsor or assist the applicant, but they do not initiate the license themselves. The public does not file for an agent’s license.
