How do you become a insurance agent in Tennessee?
To become an insurance agent in Tennessee, you must obtain a producer license through the Tennessee Department of Commerce and Insurance. Candidates complete a state-approved pre-licensing education course in the lines they intend to sell, then pass the licensing exam administered by Pearson VUE. After passing, you submit an application and background check through the NIPR portal. No college degree is required by the state, though most employers prefer candidates with coursework in business or finance.
Which companies hire insurance agents in Tennessee?
Employers hiring insurance agents in Tennessee right now include State Farm, Kemper, and Shelter Insurance, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Tennessee's dense network of independent agencies, regional carriers, and captive agency operators like State Farm and Allstate means hiring activity is spread across both large companies and locally owned operations throughout the state.
Which Tennessee cities have the most insurance agent jobs?
Knoxville, Chattanooga, and Nashville lead Tennessee in insurance agent openings. Nashville drives the largest share of postings as the state's commercial and financial center, while Memphis supports steady demand through its large employer base and active small-business market, and Knoxville reflects strong regional growth and an expanding middle-market population that supports both personal and commercial lines producers.

About 75% of insurance agent openings tied to Tennessee are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, reflecting how much of the role involves phone, email, and digital quoting tools rather than in-person visits.

Candidates who come from customer service, retail banking, or healthcare benefits coordination roles find the transition manageable. Holding a life and health license before applying gives candidates a measurable edge over those who have not yet tested.
