Florida Series 7 Licensing Requirements

What you need to legally practice as a licensed securities representative in Florida

Series 7 Exam — FINRA (Required)

125 questions, 225 minutes, 72% passing score. Covers equity securities, debt securities, options, customer accounts, and regulations. Must be sponsored by a FINRA-registered Florida broker-dealer to register for the exam.

Series 63 Exam — Uniform Securities Agent State Law (Required)

60 questions, 75 minutes, 72% passing score. Required by the Florida Office of Financial Regulation for state registration. Covers Florida securities regulations, ethical practices, and fiduciary responsibilities.

Florida Office of Financial Regulation (OFR) Registration

All financial advisors must register with the Florida OFR to practice in Florida. Your sponsoring firm submits Form U4 through FINRA's Web CRD system. Includes background check, fingerprinting, and ongoing compliance requirements.

Additional Licenses (Optional but Valuable)

Life & Health Insurance License (Florida Dept. of Financial Services) — required to sell insurance products. Series 65 or Series 66 — required for investment advisory services. CFP® or CRPC® designation — highly valued for retirement planning roles.

Important: Sponsorship Required First

You cannot register for the Series 7 exam independently. Your first step is securing a position with a FINRA-registered broker-dealer in Florida. FATI connects you with the right firm — they handle FINRA registration, cover exam fees, and provide study support.
