To obtain your Arizona adjuster license using the Certified Adjuster Designation, complete the following steps:
1. Meet the basic Arizona Adjuster Licensing Requirements
- Be at least 18 years of age
- P.O. Box or PMB (Private Mailbox) cannot be used for either residence or business address
2. Complete the Arizona Certified Adjuster Designation Course with state exam through AdjusterPro. It includes:
- 40-hour required course
- 100-question proctored exam
- Membership in the Association of Certified Adjusters
Certified Adjuster Designation & Exam completion grant Association membership which qualifies you for an exemption to the state exam in Arizona, without additional coursework or testing required.
Once complete, AdjusterPro will submit your completion results to SBS/NIPR so that you can apply online for your AZ adjuster license through NIPR.
3. Process and submit fingerprints according to AZ fingerprinting instructions.
4. Submit your application through NIPR. When completing the NIPR online application:
- AZ residents and anyone who holds a license in the state that they live in should choose the application option: Resident
- AZ does not recognize the DHS, so anyone who does not hold a license in the state that they actually live in should choose the application option: Non-resident (No home state)
- In the “Jurisdiction and Type of License” section, check the box marked “Adjuster” under Arizona. You do not need to specify a line of authority for an adjuster license.
- All new Arizona Certified Adjuster applicants must upload their Association of Certified Adjusters Membership Letter with their NIPR online application. You will also receive a certificate of designation that does not need to be submitted to the state.
- All non-resident applicants without a license in the state that they actually reside in will be required to fill out the L-152 form as well.
- Resident adjusters also fill out the L-152, but they do so during the fingerprinting process.
5. Check to see if your license has been issued at SBS.
