In the United States, licensing requirements for selling final expense insurance vary by state. The most common licenses are the Life Insurance License and the Variable Life and Variable Annuity License.
To sell final expense insurance, you'll typically need a Life Insurance License. This license is required in most states and allows you to sell life insurance policies, including final expense insurance.
Some states, like New York, require a Variable Life and Variable Annuity License in addition to the Life Insurance License. This is because final expense insurance policies often include investment components, such as riders.
