Answer & full 3-part explanation (select an option above, or peek)
Why C is correct
Under A.R.S. 20-285(E), fingerprints are required of resident applicants and of nonresidents who are relocating to Arizona. A producer moving into the state must obtain an Arizona resident license and submit fingerprints; the prior out-of-state licensure neither converts automatically nor waives the fingerprint requirement.
Why the other options are wrong
- A) Wrong because a nonresident license does not auto-convert; the producer must apply for Arizona resident licensure after relocating.
- B) Wrong because A.R.S. 20-285(E) expressly covers nonresidents relocating to Arizona; prior licensure elsewhere does not waive the fingerprint requirement.
- D) Wrong because notifying the former state does nothing for Arizona licensure; a new resident application with fingerprints is required.

Relocating to Arizona? New license, fresh fingerprints.
