Can you get a North Carolina license to sell insurance with a DUI?

You will need to contact the North Carolina Department of Insurance and speak with someone there. I would imagine that it will depend on the circumstances or your DUI. For instance, was it treated as a misdemeanor traffic violation or a felony. Also, how old the DUI was and your age at the time of the offense. I always looked differently at a DUI that was obtained at the age of 21 and one that a person got when they were in their 40s.
