It depends on the state. In some states, where there are no licensing requirements to be a title agent/title agency, anyone can sell and effect title insurance without any special requirements or licensing. Other states require specific title licensing (like New Jersey), and an attorney must also have a title license in order to effect and sell title insurance. Additionally, states like MA require that in order to be a title agent, you must be also be an attorney. Check with your state's licensing requirements for specific details.
