Last reviewed July 30, 2026 ### What this pathway covers EducUp groups L&H preparation to make discovery easier, but South Dakota authorizes specific insurance lines. The group does not replace the official names and should not be read as an additional state license. Evidence[South Dakota Division of Insurance](https://dlr.sd.gov/insurance/producers/resident_producers.aspx "Resident Producer Information") ### Steps to obtain the authority 1. 01 #### Confirm the correct authority Match the work you will perform to South Dakota's official lines; do not select a line only because it appears inside the L&H group. 2. 02 #### Prepare and pass the examination South Dakota requires no prelicensing education. Prepare from the current Life, Accident and Health or Sickness combination outline and South Dakota law. Pass the South Dakota Life, Accident and Health or Sickness Producer combination examination. The April 2026 handbook publishes 145 questions, 150 minutes, and a $95 fee. 3. 03 #### Submit a complete application Pass every required line examination, wait 48 hours for the results to reach SBS and NIPR, and submit the resident producer application through NIPR or SBS within 180 days of passing. South Dakota publishes a $25 license fee plus the service fee.
