How to Become a Licensed Title Producer
The law is clear. If you provide escrow, closing or settlement services that may result in the issuance of a title insurance policy, you must be licensed as a Title Insurance Producer or Title Insurance Producer Independent Contractor. Notary signing agents providing such services MUST also be licensed. Below are the steps to licensing.
Step 1
Take a 20-hour Title Insurance Pre-licensing Course with a provider approved by the Maryland Insurance Administration (MIA). The self-study course offered by The Training Exchange is approved by the Maryland Insurance Administration and meets the 20-hour requirement. Once purchased, the course material will be sent via email, along with the exam prep questions. After studying, you will have the opportunity to complete the course exam.

Once you pass the examination, you must submit your licensing application to become a Title Producer to the MIA. The application fee is $59.
