NY Property & Casualty Licensing Course
The Property and Casualty (P&C) license allows you to sell homeowners, auto, liability and commercial insurance products.
Anyone wishing to obtain a Property and Casualty Insurance License must be at least 18 years of age, never been convicted of a felony or any crime involving fraudulent or dishonest practices, and be current in any child support payments. You must also submit to a background check.
If you meet the above criteria, you must complete a 90-hour minimum pre-licensing classroom requirement from a state-accredited educational facility. You must then submit an application to the New York Department of Financial Services (NYDFS) with all required fees. Lastly, you must successfully pass the exam prescribed by the Superintendent of Insurance and also possess an approved appointment from a sponsoring insurance company before you are granted your Property and Casualty license.

Once you pass the in-person proctored final exam, you will be issued your course completion certificate. The school will notify the state that you successfully passed the course.
Switching Between Online And In-Person Courses
Students may switch between live in-person and zoom streaming classes only. Each class earns credit once, and students won’t receive credit for attending the same class multiple times.
If a student hasn’t started the course yet, they may switch between live in-person or zoom and online self paced.
If a student already started the course live in-person and wishes to switch to online self paced any hours completed online will not transfer and must be retaken. For assistance email info@nyrei.com or chat with someone live via the chat widget on the website.

Proctored Exam
All students pursuing their license must sit for a proctored school exam after completing their required hours. NYREI is approved to offer the proctored exam online. Please note that it may take up to 24 hours to confirm registration enabling access to the online test. Students must have access to a computer with a camera that can display their face. Students are required to show a government issued ID to take the school exam.
Proctored exams are administered at our Manhattan location on Mondays at 1pm for Salesperson Licensing and Mondays at 3pm for the Broker Licensing. However, you can schedule a private proctored exam at any time convenient to you for an additional $50 proctor fee.
Please note: Students must bring #2 pencils, a calculator, and a valid photo ID. Self-paced online students must bring a printed copy of their Student Affidavit.
If you would like information on taking the proctored exam in an approved location outside of Manhattan, please email info@nyrei.com.
