How to Apply for, Reinstate or Reactivate an Insurance License
Fingerprinting Required for Resident Individual License Applications
Effective November 1, 2010:
All resident individuals are required to be fingerprinted prior to submitting a license application for initial license or license reactivation.
If you are submitting applications for two licenses simultaneously (e.g. producer and surplus lines broker), then you will only need to be fingerprinted once. However, if you submit your producer application now and apply for a surplus lines broker license at a later date, you will be required to be fingerprinted again.
To obtain fingerprints, schedule an appointment online at http://www.fieldprinthawaii.com. Fees collected by FieldPrint include state and federal submission fees. Be sure to select "Insurance Division." Otherwise, you may need to be re-fingerprinted at your own expense.
The $40 Criminal History Record Check Fee will no longer be required by the Hawaii Insurance Division for residents and nonresidents.
