If your licenses are currently active, you do not have to take the Securities Industry Essentials (SIE) Exam. Additionally, if your licenses have expired, you will need to take the SIE before retaking the qualification exams. There are rare cases where you might be able to pursue a waiver, but your firm will likely need to contact FINRA directly in these situations.
