In Arizona, what are the fingerprint-related costs a producer licensing applicant should expect?

Why B is correct

Under Arizona licensing procedures administered by the Arizona Department of Insurance and Financial Institutions (DIFI), fingerprinting costs applicants eight dollars twenty-five cents for Fieldprint plus twenty-two dollars forty-four cents for the FBI and DPS background checks. These fingerprint costs are separate from the license fee per class.

Why the other options are wrong

• A) Wrong because one hundred twenty dollars is the license fee per class, not the fingerprint cost.
• C) Wrong because fingerprinting carries the Fieldprint and FBI/DPS charges; it is not free.
• D) Wrong because five hundred dollars is the settlement broker authority fee under A.R.S. 20-3202, unrelated to fingerprinting.

Memory hook

Eight twenty-five plus twenty-two forty-four — small fees, big background.

Why A is correct

Arizona requires resident producer applicants (and nonresidents relocating to Arizona) to submit fingerprints under the licensing provisions, including A.R.S. 20-285(E), with a Fieldprint fee of $8.25 plus an FBI/DPS processing fee of $22.44.

Why the other options are wrong

• B) $50 and $59 are producer examination fees, not fingerprint processing fees.
• C) $120 is the license fee per class and $42 is an unrelated other-line fee, not fingerprint fees.
• D) $250 and $500 relate to life settlement broker authority fees, not fingerprint processing.

Memory hook

8.25 + 22.44 = prints on file.
