Can you become a licensed insurance agent if you are on probation?

I am aware that in the State of California you cannot obtain a license on probation, you would have to wait for the probation period be ended. I would check out the Department of Insurance website and look at the frequently asked questions to see what felonies, or misdemeanor charges they will not allow to obtain a license. It depends on each individual situation but do some searching on the department of insurance's website.
