Description
The Designated Home State (DHS) license was created to provide residents of non-licensing states a means to designate a home state for the purposes of reciprocity and compliance. You should only obtain a DHS License if you reside in one of the following non-licensing states: Colorado, Illinois, Kansas, Maryland, Massachusetts, Missouri, Nebraska, New Jersey, North Dakota, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Tennessee, Virginia, Washington D. C., or Wisconsin.
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. While a host of different states offer a DHS license, the Florida 70-20 Nonresident DHS license is our top recommendation. It offers great reciprocity, you can take the exam online with us, and Florida has the quickest application turnaround time in the country.
Florida DHS adjuster candidates must take an approved pre-licensing course and pass an exam before applying for their license. Our Florida Certified Adjuster Pre-licensing Course satisfies both requirements. Once you complete the course and pass the included exam, you can apply for your 70-20 license. Our Florida Certified Adjuster Designation is the fastest and simplest way to get your Designated Home State License.
While obtaining your license is the most important step to becoming a claims adjuster, you shouldn’t stop there! Our Total Adjuster Package was developed to give new adjusters everything they need to get started, get hired, and get to work. Plus, you’ll save almost $250 off individual pricing when you bundle your Florida Pre-Licensing Course + Exam, Xactimate Training, Residential Construction Basics, Soft Skills: The Art of Insurance Adjusting, and our Adjuster Success Method.
Note: After purchase, all of these courses will be available in your personal online classroom. We highly recommend you take them in the order they are listed below. While our Xactimate course is approved for CE in certain states, you must hold a valid license before taking any course you intend to submit for continuing education credit.

Great course! The only thing I would of liked is if I were able to watch the videos first to have a little bit of understanding while I was reading but I had a general idea with most of the material due to my experience in construction.
Sherri R. (verified owner) –
The course was excellent; however, I thought it was too much material for one test. I would have preferred to divide the material into additional testing.

I am a very fast reader and ended up spending a lot of time on some sections waiting for the time requirement to be up even though I already had read all the information and re skimmed for important details maybe don’t have such long time requirements for some and not others other than that this course was very informative with lots of very useful information that I see helping in my career.

This course was amazing! Initially, I thought it was a bit difficult to understand with all of the course information provided. This course has plenty of different ways to implement knowledge and learn in multiple ways. However, the study bank made it really easy to grasp the concepts that were misunderstood and or not fully learned at the time of chapter completion. With the course being self paced, it has relieved the pressure that traditional schooling would have provided with my current lifestyle. I fully recommend AdjusterPro to individuals looking to obtain their license.

Prepared me quite well for the exam. On a UX level the times displayed on the top right of each section caused me anxiety because they are often inaccurate and made me feel like I was constantly behind. In other words the time each section took was actually way longer than what the estimated times displayed.
