"ThatGuy" is the most correct of all the posts.
Getting licensed is easy. FINRA/SEC/Insurance commissioners WILL LET YOU.
The question will be if the individual firms will let you REPRESENT THEM and take on the additional compliance issues. (ie. will you sell ethically, will you misrepresent the product/solution so you can earn a higher commission, more frequent file reviews, etc.)
NYL will (per their handbook) as long as it was ONE BK and everything has been discharged. But just because their handbook says so, doesn't mean the managing partner will.
All you can do is be up front with all the firms you are considering. Prepare letters of explanation of how it happened and provide discharge papers as necessary. Then find out what they say. All they can say is "no".
