Most state securities regulators require that in order for an individual to become registered as an IAR, such individual must have successfully completed the Series 65 examination. In the event that an individual currently holds and maintains in good standing the Certified Financial Planner (CFP), Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA), Personal Financial Specialist (PFS) or Charter Financial Consultant (ChFC), most states will waive the successful completion of the Series 65. Similarly, as long as an individual maintains both a Series 7 and Series 66 with a broker-dealer, most states will not require such individuals to obtain the Series 65.
