How to get licensed in the District of Columbia

The District of Columbia Department of Insurance, Securities and Banking licenses insurance agents in the District of Columbia. Here is the path to a resident license that covers health insurance, then the steps to sell Medicare and ACA plans.

  1. Resident license

    Get the right license line

    In the District of Columbia, the resident license that lets you sell health insurance is Accident and Health or Sickness. The District of Columbia Department of Insurance, Securities and Banking issues it.

  2. Pearson VUE

    Pass the state exam

    In the District of Columbia, insurance licensing exams are run by Pearson VUE. You schedule your health line exam with them.

  3. Required

    Get fingerprinted

    The District of Columbia requires fingerprints for a background check after you apply, through Fieldprint. Prints taken before you apply are not accepted.

  4. Apply for your license

    Apply for your District of Columbia resident license through NIPR. You receive your National Producer Number (NPN), a unique ID that follows you to every state, during the application process.

  5. Every plan year

    Certify for Medicare

    To sell Medicare Advantage and Part D plans with us, complete the AHIP Medicare + Fraud, Waste, and Abuse course for the current plan year (AHIP updates it every year), plus each carrier's certification.

  6. Every plan year

    Register with CMS for ACA plans

    Complete Marketplace registration and training with CMS each plan year through the Marketplace Learning Management System (MLMS). You need this for HealthCare.gov states, which you reach with non-resident licenses. CMS ties Marketplace access to the health line of authority on your resident license, so your District of Columbia license comes first.

  7. State exchange

    Register with DC Health Link

    For 2027 coverage, the District of Columbia runs its own exchange, DC Health Link, instead of HealthCare.gov. Agents register with DC Health Link as well. Brokers also register with DC Health Link and complete its required training.

  8. Keep your license active

    To renew, the District of Columbia requires 24 hours of continuing education every 2 years, including 3 hours of ethics.

Also good to know in the District of Columbia: Your first license runs 18 to 29 months so it lines up with your birth month. After that it renews every 2 years.
