Q: Can you get an insurance license in Tennessee if you have a non-violent non-drug related felony in 2013?
I’ve never been in trouble since. And I served my probation.
A: In Tennessee, obtaining an insurance license with a non-violent, non-drug related felony conviction from 2013 is possible but involves several steps. The Tennessee Department of Commerce and Insurance, which oversees licensing, considers each application on a case-by-case basis. Applicants with criminal convictions are required to provide details about their conviction and evidence of rehabilitation. The decision to grant a license will depend on the nature of the felony, the time elapsed since the conviction, and the applicant's conduct since then. Successful completion of probation and a clean record since the offense are positive factors that the department will consider. However, approval is not guaranteed, and applicants may need to undergo a more detailed review process.
