The Idaho Personal Lines license

Idaho Code 41-1006(1) asks a resident individual applying for a producer license to pass a written examination unless exempt, and 41-1007(1) is the closed list of what the director must find before approving the application: at least 18 years old, fingerprints submitted where the director asks for them, no act that is a ground for denial anywhere in title 41, the fees under 41-401 paid, and the examinations passed for the lines applied for. No course is in it, which is where Idaho's zero is read. The pass then has a shelf life: 41-1006(4) says an application not received within 180 days of passing shall be denied, and it says denied rather than delayed.

Idaho Code 41-1012(1). Somebody previously licensed for the same lines of authority in another state completes no prelicensing examination. The exemption holds while that other license is current, or if the application arrives within 90 days of its cancellation and the other state certifies the applicant was in good standing at that point, or the NAIC producer database shows it for the lines being asked for.

Idaho Code 41-1012(2). Somebody licensed as a producer in another state who moves to Idaho has 90 days from establishing legal residence to apply as a resident licensee, and Idaho writes it as a duty rather than an option. No examination is required for a line of authority previously held in the prior state unless the director provides otherwise by rule.
