How Long Is the Series 63 License Valid?

🟦 How Long Is the Series 63 License Valid?

The Series 63 license, also known as the Uniform Securities Agent State Law Examination, does not have a fixed expiration date. Its validity is contingent upon your active registration with a FINRA-member firm or a state-registered investment adviser firm. Once registered, the license remains valid as long as you maintain that registration.​

🔄 Maintaining Your Series 63 License

• Active Registration: Your Series 63 license remains valid as long as you are actively registered with a firm.
• Termination of Registration: If your registration is terminated, you have two years to become re-registered without having to retake the exam. ​kaplanfinancial.com

⏳ State-Specific Considerations

While the Series 63 license itself does not expire, individual states may have their own requirements for maintaining active registration. It’s important to check with your state’s securities regulator for any additional continuing education or renewal requirements.​

✅ Key Takeaways

• The Series 63 license does not have a fixed expiration date.
• Maintaining an active registration with a firm is essential to keep the license valid.
• If registration is terminated, re-registration must occur within two years to avoid retaking the exam.​
