🟦 How Long Is the Series 66 License Valid?

The Series 66 license—officially known as the Uniform Combined State Law Examination—is valid as long as you maintain an active registration with a FINRA-member firm or a state-registered investment adviser firm. Once registered, the license does not expire unless your registration lapses.​

🔄 Maintaining Your Series 66 License

• Active Registration: Your Series 66 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. ​Securities Training Corporation

⏳ State-Specific Considerations

While the Series 66 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 66 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.​Securities Training Corporation
