I wanted to write this article awhile ago, but got busy with other things. It’s sometimes is discouraging to know that you can’t simply sell Legal Shield (formerly known as Pre-Paid Legal) plans in any state or province that you want. This isn’t entirely Legal Shield’s fault, but it’s the individual states that decided to charge a tax in order to fill their own pockets fault.
Anyway, here are a couple lists of Provinces in Canada and States in the United States that require you have a license to sell Legal plans. Some of them require a test and fee, others just a fee and the fee is usually and annual fee if you know what I mean.
**Note that some of the provinces in Canada simply don’t allow Legal Shield plans to be sold there with a license or without.
Canada licensed Provinces:
- New Brunswick
- New Foundland
- Nova Scotia
- Northwest Territories
- Nunavut
- Ontario
- Prince Edward Island
- Quebec
- Saskatchewan
- Yukon Territory
United States licensed States
- Alaska

- Missouri
- Mississippi
- Montana
- Nebraska
- New Jersey

I hope this list is useful to you in your efforts to not waste advertising dollars in areas that require a license to legally sell a legal plan for Legal Shield.
