How do I get a property and casualty adjuster license?

Steps vary by state, but the typical path is completing any required prelicensing education, passing the state adjuster exam, submitting fingerprints for a background check, and applying through the state or NIPR. Sixteen jurisdictions, including Colorado, Illinois, and Pennsylvania, do not license adjusters; their residents can obtain a designated home state license from Florida or Texas, which most licensing states accept reciprocally (California, Hawaii, and New York are exceptions). Some states also waive the exam for approved courses or designations.
