FLORIDA LICENSING & COMPLIANCE FAQS

  • What are the continuing education and license renewal requirements for Florida?

    Resident adjusters are required to complete 24 hours of continuing education (CE) every two years. The 24 hours must include the state-mandated 4-hour Law and Ethics Update.

    Florida Adjusters will not receive credit for any CE course taken twice in any 24-month period, regardless of their license compliance cycle. Be sure to track and plan your CE courses accordingly. Excess CE credits can be carried over into the next compliance cycle.

    No license renewal is required for Florida adjusters, provided the licensee is properly appointed when applicable. Failure to complete continuing education requirements may result in the cancellation of an appointment, which could lead to termination of the license. The license will also expire if more than 48 months lapse without an appointment. Login to MyProfile to update your appointment.

    AdjusterPro offers over 40 hours of continuing education for Florida adjusters. Courses can be purchased as a bundle that will fulfill state requirements or individually.

  • How to check your CE Transcript

    Need to know how many hours of CE you’ve accumulated or have left? Or perhaps you want to check on the last time you took “Course XYZ” to ensure you can take it again during this compliance cycle. Checking your transcripts is relatively easy these days. (Thankfully!) Your hours are submitted to your state’s preferred database where you can check them anytime. Just remember you’ll need to create an account and load your license details first.

    Here’s a list of where you can view your CE transcript. Just click on the linked title to navigate to the correct site for your state.
