Getting licensed in California
Selling requires a California life insurance license, issued after a course and exam administered by California Department of Insurance. California requires 12 hours of pre-licensing coursework before the state exam. California cut its pre-licensing requirement from 32 hours to 12 (ethics-only) effective January 2026.
You don't have to figure it out alone — we walk every applicant through the California licensing path, then provide the training, mentorship, and lead access you need to start working with clients remotely.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need experience to sell life insurance remotely in San Jose, California?
No. Most of our agents come from completely different careers. We provide structured training and mentorship to help you ramp up, whether or not you've sold anything before.
Is Remote Life a legitimate company?
Yes. We're transparent about how this works: compensation is commission-based, a California life insurance license is required to sell, and we're upfront about that from the first page you land on. Our training, mentorship, and lead access are free — the only costs are your state's licensing course and exam fees, which are paid directly to the state or course provider and vary by state.
Is this a fully remote job in San Jose, California?
Yes. This is 100% remote and location-independent. You can work from anywhere in San Jose, California with a reliable internet connection.
How much can I earn?
Compensation is commission-based, so it varies by effort, skill, and consistency — nothing is guaranteed. For context, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reports insurance sales agents nationally earn between $36,390 and $135,660+ a year (May 2024 data, 10th to 90th percentile), which includes commission.
What happens after I apply?
We'll send a confirmation to your email within a few minutes and follow up by phone within 24 hours to walk you through next steps — licensing (if you're not already licensed in California), onboarding, and lead access.
Remote life insurance sales is commission-based. Licensing is required. Training is provided. Results are not guaranteed and depend on effort, skill, consistency, follow-up, and market conditions.
