Not knowing where you are located, the answer can only be a general one.
Broadly, insurance is a regulated industry, and those who transact insurance with the public on behalf of insurers, are licensed by the insurance regulatory authority. In the US, the business of insurance is regulated by the individual States.
Again, broadly, States require that prospective agents take a pre-licensing course to prepare for the insurance licensure exam; there are private entities that offer these courses, and many can be taken on line. Thereafter, the prospective agent takes a test in the State where he/she wishes to get licensed for the lines of insurance he/she wishes to transact.
The State where a license is sought will conduct a complete background investigation to include criminal background to ensure that the applicant is of "good character" and has the necessary credentials for licensure. Thereafter, the licensed person applies to the company(ies) for an "appointment" (authority to transact insurance for the insurer).
