Minnesota Series 7 Licensing Requirements

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

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 Minnesota 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 Minnesota Department of Commerce for state registration. Covers Minnesota securities regulations, ethical practices, and fiduciary responsibilities.

Minnesota Department of Commerce Registration

All financial advisors must register with the Minnesota Department of Commerce to practice in Minnesota. 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 (Minnesota Dept. of Commerce) — required to sell insurance products. Series 65 or Series 66 — required for investment advisory services. CFP® designation — highly valued for wealth management 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 Minnesota. FATI connects you with the right firm — they handle FINRA registration, cover exam fees, and provide study support.
