Do I need to take any exams if I am currently registered in another state that does not require the S65 exam and I want to move to Florida and become registered as an IA? No. There is grandfathering provision for IAs registered in other states so that they do not have to pass an exam if they have been registered in any jurisdiction in the past 2 years.
What designations are accepted professional designations that an applicant may possess in lieu of passing the new S65?
PFS Personal Financial Specialist ChFC Chartered Financial Consultant CFP Certified Financial Planner CIC Chartered Investment Counselor CFA Chartered Financial Analyst
What exams will I need to pass if I do not meet any of the other qualifications or have any of the other designations? Either S65 (within the last 2 years); Or S7 and S66 (within the last 2 years)
