Series 63 cost
How much does the Series 63 exam cost?
As of 2026, the Series 63 exam fee is $147, paid to NASAA at enrollment. Here's who actually pays it — and why that fee is the smallest number that matters.
The Series 63 fee, up front
The Series 63 (Uniform Securities Agent State Law) exam fee is $147 as of 2026, paid to NASAA when you enroll — it's a NASAA state-law exam administered through FINRA's testing system. Fees change, so confirm the current fee with NASAA before you register.
What the Series 63 actually costs
- Exam fee: $147 (as of 2026), paid to NASAA at enrollment.
- Who pays it: when a firm registers you, it usually covers the fee — so your out-of-pocket is frequently $0. Paying on your own means the full $147.
- Retakes: you pay the full $147 again for each attempt, on top of the required wait between tries.
- Optional prep: a study course or question bank is extra — but it's what keeps you from paying the fee twice.
The real cost is failing
The $147 fee is small compared to the cost of failing: another $147 retake, a mandatory waiting period, and delayed registration. That's why good Series 63 prep pays for itself the first time.
