Answer & full 3-part explanation (select an option above, or peek)
Why A is correct
Under Florida licensing law administered by the Department of Financial Services, applicants must submit fingerprints so state and federal criminal history record checks can be completed as part of the background review. The background check supports DFS's evaluation of the applicant's character and trustworthiness for licensure.
Why the other options are wrong
- B) Credit reports are not the required background instrument; fingerprint-based criminal history checks are.
- C) Employment references may accompany an application but do not satisfy the background check requirement.
- D) No medical examination is required to qualify for a Florida insurance agent license.
Memory hook
Fingerprints first: DFS runs the background check.
