Hi I am just getting started in the Insurance Field as an Agent. I am concerned however about my initial License in the State of New Hampshire because I had to answer 'yes' to one of the background questions - "have you ever been convicted of any crime?"
Since I answered yes, I had to send additional documentation of all my charges and disposition documents. I also had to submit a written explanation electronically. I am now extremely nervous that I will be denied only on the basis of my background.
I did note however in my explanation that all my crimes resulted from 'stupid reactions/choices' during hostile, stressful situations (i.e. fights) and that I have sinced changed and repayed my debt to society. And that I have further never been charged with a financial crime.
I have already been hired by a company, we are now only waiting on the license before I am appointed. My boss told me that they would probably not deny and that I don't have a reason to worry.
Am I ok and good to go? What is the likelihood that they would deny me the license only because of this criminal record?
