Illinois Insurance Claims Adjuster License

Illinois does not license insurance adjusters. For Illinois residents who want to become licensed independent adjusters, we recommend obtaining a nonresident designated home state (DHS) license from Florida. A DHS license is required by most employers and enables you to apply for reciprocal licensing privileges.

ILLINOIS LICENSING & COMPLIANCE FAQS

  • Do I need a license to be a claims adjuster?

    Yes! While there are 16 states that still do not license claims adjusters, the majority of states do. Employers, either insurance carriers or Independent Adjusting Firms, need adjusters who can work a multitude of claims in a variety of areas. You will give yourself the best chance for employment by obtaining your home state, or ‘designated home state’ license, and then getting reciprocal licenses so you can work in other states as well.

  • What if my home state doesn’t license? What is a DHS license?

    If you live in a non-licensing state, you should obtain a “Designated Home State” or DHS license. A DHS license basically works just like having your home state license and is vital if you want to work any claims outside of your non-licensing state. If you live in Kansas for example, you can adjust claims there without a license, but you can’t go work claims in Florida or Texas.

    While a host of different states offer a DHS license, we recommend obtaining the Florida 70-20 Nonresident DHS license. It offers great reciprocity and Florida has the quickest application turnaround time in the country.

    States that do not currently license adjusters: Colorado, District of Columbia, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Maryland, Massachusetts, Missouri, Nebraska, New Jersey, North Dakota, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Tennessee, Virginia, and Wisconsin.

  • What is reciprocity?

    Reciprocity, or reciprocal licensing privileges, allows a licensed adjuster to obtain another state’s license without having to pass that specific state’s exam. Thank goodness, right? Once you have your home state or DHS license, you can apply for other state licenses through reciprocity.

    It’s not automatic – you will need to complete the required paperwork and submit the licensing fees, but most licensing states are now reciprocal with each other, as long as your home state or DHS license holds the lines of authority that you are requesting from the new state. For example, if you hold a P&C Adjuster License, you are only qualified for a P&C reciprocal license in another state. You cannot obtain a reciprocal All-Lines license if your home state or DHS license is for P&C, because it covers fewer lines of authority.

    There are some additional caveats – New York, California and Hawaii do not reciprocate with any other state for example. You can read more about the importance of reciprocity here – Reciprocity: The Truth About Licensing Agreements.

    It’s also important to note that reciprocity doesn’t always go both ways. For example, New York doesn’t offer reciprocal licenses to licensed adjusters from any other state. However, there are plenty of states that will offer licensed New York adjusters a reciprocal license.

    To learn what states will offer you a reciprocal license, visit our reciprocity map and click on your state.
