To solicit a variable annuity in Ohio, a producer must hold which combination of credentials?
AOH resident life license only
OH life license with variable line authority and FINRA registration (Series 6 or 7)
CFINRA Series 6 only, with no OH insurance license required for soliciting variable annuities from Ohio residents
DOH property & casualty license plus FINRA Series 63
Why this is the answer
Because variable annuities are dual-regulated as insurance and securities, Ohio requires the producer to hold an OH life license with variable contract authority AND a FINRA registration (Series 6 for packaged products, Series 7 for the full range), together with broker-dealer affiliation.
