Series 63 Exam FAQs

What are the eligibility requirements for the Series 63 Exam?

To be eligible for the Series 63 Exam, you must be sponsored by a FINRA-member firm or a registered securities firm. Candidates must be at least 18 years old and in good standing, with no disqualifying regulatory actions. There are no formal education prerequisites, but passing the Securities Industry Essentials (SIE) Exam or holding certain licenses is typically required or recommended before taking the Series 63.

How do I register for the Series 63 exam?

To register for the Series 63 Exam, you must be sponsored by a FINRA-member firm or a registered securities firm. Your sponsoring firm will submit your Form U4 (Uniform Application for Securities Industry Registration or Transfer) to FINRA, which officially registers you for the exam. Once registered, FINRA will provide instructions to schedule your exam at a Prometric testing center or online where available.

How many times can I retake the Series 63 Exam?

You can retake the Series 63 Exam as many times as needed, but FINRA requires waiting periods between attempts. After the first and second failures, you must wait 30 days before retaking the exam. Following a third failure, the waiting period increases to 180 days for any subsequent attempts.

How long is the Series 63 exam valid for after passing?

After passing the Series 63 Exam, your registration remains active as long as you are associated with a FINRA-member or registered securities firm and maintain your license. If your registration lapses or you leave the industry, you may need to retake the exam or meet additional state or FINRA requirements to regain active status.

What can I do after passing the Series 63 Exam?

After passing the Series 63 Exam, you are licensed to solicit orders for securities within individual states, ensuring compliance with state securities laws and ethical standards. This allows you to work as a registered securities agent, provide investment advice, and expand your ability to serve clients across state lines. Passing the Series 63 also complements other FINRA licenses, enabling a broader range of investment and advisory opportunities.
