How do I become a car (auto) insurance adjuster?

Auto insurance adjusters are licensed at the state level, and requirements vary. Some states require a prelicensing course and a state exam, some require only the exam, and 16 jurisdictions do not license adjusters at all. In some states, company-employed adjusters can work under the insurance company's license. The typical path: complete any required prelicensing course, pass the state exam, submit fingerprints, and apply through the state portal or NIPR.
