3. Get Fingerprinted
The Texas TDI requires electronic fingerprinting. Appointments must be made through IdentoGO by IDEMIA by calling 888-467-2080 Monday through Friday, 8AM–5PM CST, or by scheduling online at uenroll.identogo.com/workflows/11G6QF. At your fingerprinting appointment, you’ll receive a receipt. Keep the original receipt for your records and attach a copy to the license application you send to the Texas Department of Insurance.
4. Apply for Your License
Of course you must pass the exam and be fingerprinted for the background investigation prior to submission of your application. In Texas, you apply online via Sircon or the NIPR. Once your application review is complete, the TDI’s Licensing Office will deliver the good news via email, or ask you to provide more information.
The Texas Life & Health Virtual Learning Experience is an online insurance course that replicates the live classroom experience with the addition of on-line learning aids not available in a traditional classroom environment. The flexibility of the Virtual Learning Experience allows you to learn on your schedule. The ability to stop, pause, rewind and repeat modules (or the entire Pre-license course) will enhance your understanding of key concepts and improve your retention.
When preparing for a content-driven multiple-choice exam, like the Texas L&H insurance licensing exam, repetition is key. It reinforces what you've learned and helps to solidify that knowledge. By reviewing the material multiple times via multiple learning tools, you will strengthen the neural pathways in that cranium of yours; which will improve memory recall, making it easier to retrieve information during the certification exam.

What our AMAZING Texas Life & Health Students Have to Say...
I can't say enough good things about TESTivity’s Texas Online Insurance School.
The training is comprehensive, easy to understand and was the main reason for my success in the state exam.
Obviously, you get as much out of any training as the energy you put into it, but I enjoyed every minute of the online courses and tutorials. I was able to spend as much time as needed on each individual lesson, since the way the information is presented makes it easy for even a relative novice to understand.
This is by far the best program I've ever worked with and highly recommend it.
--Raymond, Texas Life & Health Course
"A dream come true..."
As someone who has difficulty with traditional "textbook learning", the TESTivity Online Insurance School was a dream come true- I had wanted desperately to learn the inner workings of the insurance/investment world, but felt overwhelmed.
The program's "virtual learning environment" allows you to take the course at YOUR speed, and facilitates learning by allowing you to pause/repeat slides, as well as tests to make sure you have gained a mastery at the topic at hand.
--Nicole, Texas L&H Insurance Course
