You need to be fingerprinted as part of the licensing process, unless you have an existing, recently issued insurance license. If you have a Real Estate License, TREC does not share with TDI, so you'll have to do it again.

You need to have your fingerprints done BEFORE you apply for your license. You apply for your license AFTER you have passed your exam. So, you can get the fingerprints done now. Just be sure to save the documentation they give you, you will need it later when you submit your license application. But you can and should get this step out of the way ahead of time.
