Getting your Florida Public Adjuster license takes a few more steps, and a bit more time, to obtain. But your first step is getting the Flroida 6-20 Certified Adjuster license.
- Meet the basic Florida Adjuster Licensing Requirements
- Be a natural person at least 18 years of age
- Be a resident of the State of Florida
- Be a United States citizen or legal alien who possesses a work authorization from the United States Immigration and Naturalization Services
- Complete the required Florida Certified Designation Course with state exam through AdjusterPro
- Process and submit Fingerprints according to instructions at Florida Department of Financial Services (FLDFS) Fingerprinting Requirements
- Submit Proof of Citizenship Documentation
- Submit an application through MyProfile. Applicants concerned with criminal background questions on the application can view a list of Disqualifying Crimes provided by the state
- Check to see if your 6-20 license has been issued by logging into MyProfile. (It’s important to note that once you receive and appoint this license, you can work as an independent or staff adjuster. To get your public adjuster license, continue with the following steps.)
- After you receive your 6-20 license, you must be appointed by a public adjuster or public adjusting firm and apprentice under them for 6 months, or be appointed as an independent or staff adjuster for 6 months.
- During this apprenticeship period, you must have a $50,000 surety bond.
- After completing your public adjuster apprenticeship, you must take and pass the 3-20 Public Adjuster exam with PearsonVue.
- You will need a $50,000 surety bond to cover the license period.
- Only after you satisfy the apprenticeship requirements and successfully pass your 3-20 exam can you apply for the 3-20 Florida Public Adjuster License.
