Can I get an insurance claims adjuster license online?
Yes, in many states. Prelicensing courses are widely available online, and several states offer remote-proctored licensing exams: Colorado makes its insurance licensing exams available online through Pearson VUE's OnVUE platform, and California offers remote exams through PSI. Not every state allows it; Texas discontinued online-proctored exams in March 2024 and requires testing in person at Pearson VUE test centers.
Mostly, yes. You can take the Alabama adjuster exam through online proctoring on a desktop or laptop with a camera and microphone, and you submit the application and $110 fee online through NIPR. The fingerprint background check is scheduled online through Fieldprint but must be completed at a fingerprinting location.

Colorado does not license independent adjusters, so if you adjust claims on behalf of an insurer you do not need a state adjuster license.
