I am wanting to start my own independent office here in Oklahoma. I am currently licensed as a CSR in all lines and my questoins is how do I become an agent, do I still have to be appointed by a current agent? I thought I had it figured out but I am getting different info from people and I am lost now.
 
Yes I have seen that, I have already passed all of the test for the csr and I was told it is the same test for a producer and. All I have to take is the 8 hour class and sign the paper work but the person I work for is a captive agent and is not for sure if she can sign that paper work because her office will be shutting down at the end of the year and we dont want them to find out about me because I will be opening the new business in the same office.
 
than you will have to take the producer pre-test. and test. is your boss going to be a (silent) partner in the new business? she has to read her non-compete and be careful. what insurance carriers are you looking at?
 
called OID and got the info I needed, just have to apply for my producer lincense and pay the fees and they will transfer my csr to a producer and no test since I have passed all of them. glad I dont have to have a sponser or a provisional to get this going. I am working on getting set up with carriers next and not for sure how to do that either.

Good for you and good luck.
