Annuity Brokers by State (2026)

How to find a trustworthy annuity broker where you live: the difference between brokers, agents, and advisors, how they are paid, and the license check that comes before everything else.

Start with licensing, not advertising: every person selling annuities must hold a life insurance license issued by your state's insurance department, and you can verify any license for free before a single conversation. Then prefer an independent broker who quotes many carriers over a captive agent who sells for one. Pick your state below for the local rules, or get matched with a vetted specialist.
