Why D is correct
Under Va. Code § 38.2-1830, a temporary license issued in Virginia runs for 180 days. The temporary license lets a qualifying person — for example, a surviving spouse or business associate of a deceased or disabled producer — keep servicing the book of business for a defined stretch while deciding whether to pursue full licensure or an orderly transfer. The 180-day figure is deliberately close to, but distinct from, the 183-day window that governs license issuance after the licensing examination.
Why the other options are wrong
- A) 90 days is the age threshold for fingerprint freshness, not the temporary-license duration under Va. Code § 38.2-1830.
- B) 60 days is the continuation-coverage election window, not the length of a temporary license.
- C) 183 days is the deadline for license issuance after passing the examination; the temporary license runs 180 days.
Memory hook
Temporary help lasts 180 days — not 183, which is the exam clock.
