In the state of ohio can I sale life Insurance with a felony?
I have a trouble back ground but things have changed tremendously in my life in the last 4 years. I have a couple convictions for selling drugs in my past. I'm looking to obtain a career in insurance sales but I heard that you can't get a license in the state of Ohio with a felony. Does anyone know if this is true?

Best Answer – Chosen by Voters It depends on how long ago and did you serve jail time and if it was your first and only offence. If you are thinking of working for a company it's best to check the laws in your State to see if enough time has elapsed that this felony charge would be on/off your record.There are many companies that believe in 2nd chances, and hopefully you've learned a lesson. It's best to be up-front if you feel the felony charge is active on your record. Any company that you deal with money, properties, etc., the company more than likely would do a check on you. I work for a Women's Abuse Center and they did a criminal check on me. Thank God, I was clean! Still, I see their point. Some companies may want to bond you as well.

Well, in general, you can't get an insurance license with a felony – however, the state insurance commissioner can give you an exception. Those exceptions don't usually happen too often, depending on the felony.
