“P&C and L&H are two types of insurance licenses.
P&C stands for Property and Casualty. L&H stands for Life and Health.
An agent with a Property and Casualty license can sell personal lines of insurance like
home insurance
and
car insurance
.
An agent with a Life and Health license can sell life and health insurance.
It is possible for an agent to have multiple licenses within a state or other states. Every state also has different requirements for becoming licensed in each insurance line.
While it varies, most licenses require you to take a course and an exam. You’ll also have to submit an application to the state for approval by the Superintendent of Insurance.
Without these licenses, an agent is not legally allowed to sell insurance.”
