Yes. Most state securities regulators have waived the Series 65 examination requirement for an individual who was previously registered as an investment advisor representative prior to the state securities regulator’s adoption of its current rule requiring the Series 65, as long as the individual has maintained his or her registration as an investment advisor representative with the jurisdiction since the adoption of the new rule. In the event that an individual has let his or her registration as an investment advisor representative lapse with the jurisdiction since the date that the applicable state securities regulator adopted the rule, most state securities regulators will require such individual to re-take and successfully complete the Series 65 examination.
