To sell variable annuities, you will need to obtain a license as a registered representative. This typically involves completing a series of exams, including the Series 6, Series 7, or Series 26, depending on the specific products you wish to sell. Additionally, you may need to obtain a state-specific license, depending on the jurisdictions in which you plan to operate. It is essential to research and comply with all relevant licensing requirements in your area to ensure you are operating legally and ethically. Consult with your state's securities regulator or a financial professional for guidance on obtaining the necessary licenses and meeting all requirements.
