Why B is correct
Va. Code § 38.2-1830 provides that each temporary license is valid for 180 calendar days. The temporary license is an emergency credential issued on the death or disability of a producer or in other statutory circumstances, and its 180-day span is deliberately different from the 183-day window for issuing a license after the examination. The Virginia Bureau of Insurance counts the temporary-license clock in calendar days from issuance.
Why the other options are wrong
- A) 90 days is not the temporary-license duration under Virginia law.
- C) 183 days is the deadline for issuing a license after the examination requirement is met, not the temporary-license term.
- D) A temporary license runs for a fixed statutory term, not a year, and renewal is discretionary, not automatic.
Memory hook
Temporary means 180 — don't swap it with 183.
