How to Become Registered as a Non-FINRA or Issuer Securities Agent

  1. Examination - The individual initially must be employed by a Broker Dealer for sponsorship of him/her to take the appropriate exams required by the Federal Regulatory Agency. Michigan requires the Series 63 exam. Waivers may be granted for the following reasons;
      • if the Series 66 exam was passed in lieu of the Series 63.
      • if an agent was approved in the securities business prior to the Series 63 requirement going into effect, and has not been unregistered for a period of two or more years.
      • if an agent passed the Series 63, and has been registered within the preceding two years in a state requiring the Series 63.
      • if a non-FINRA agent was registered with a self-regulatory organization within the previous two years.

    However, in order to grant the waiver our office must be notified of the agent's Series 63 deficiency by email at ofis-sec-info@michigan.gov or fax (517/373-0549, Attn Securities Agent Registration Unit).

  2. A Form U-4 completed and signed must be submitted directly to the attention of Office of Financial and Insurance Regulation, Licensing, P.O. Box 30220, Lansing, MI 48909.
  3. A $65.00 per agent check made payable to the State of Michigan must accompany the application.
  4. A Michigan fingerprint card must be completed and submitted. To obtain a card, contact Securities Agent Licensing at 877/999-6442.
