NY Insurance Agents & Brokers-Licensing Questions

Question

I hold a 440 (CSR) in Florida, eligible to test for my 220 (Agent) at this time. But I am planning this move to NY and I just cant wrap my head around your state licensing.

Ok, There is an Agent, a Broker, and an Agent/Broker.

Tests 10-53, 10-56, & 10-54. What is the difference?

Do all require a 90 hr course prior to testing? If I am an out of state agent, assuming I go forward with my testing does that hold any water in NY? I am sure you would need to hold it in FL for 1 yr or more, so its probably a waste of money to even test for the FL license.

Any info is greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

I'm thinking, you're going to need to put a telephone call in to the NY Insurance Department and ask.   Some states are reciprocal, like Florida, but I have no idea if NY is or not.
