Getting Your Florida Adjuster License

Under the authority of Florida Statute §626.221 and the endorsement of the Florida Department of Financial Services (DFS), after you have successfully completed the Florida PPIA Licensing and Designation Program you can apply for your Florida All Lines Adjuster license and will be exempt from taking the state examination. The PPIA designation letter and course certificate, which will be mailed to you, will allow you to secure your Florida All Lines Adjuster license after completing the following steps:

  • Apply for your license with the Florida Department of Financial Services.
  • Make sure that you have your Certificate of Satisfactory Completion awarding you your PPIA designation, so that you can send it to Florida DFS, Bureau of Licensing.
  • Get your fingerprints taken and possess a valid Social Security Number(SSN) to complete the application.

Adjuster Licensing Requirements

An applicant for licensure must be a United States citizen or legal alien who possesses work authorization from the United States Bureau of Citizenship and Immigration Services. ALL APPLICANTS MUST PROVIDE A VALID SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER. If you are a legal alien with a work authorization visa, you must apply for and obtain a Social Security Card prior to applying for licensure with the Florida Department of Financial Services.

For Florida residents: Fingerprints must be taken through the specified vendor and submitted by LiveScan at one of the Department's fingerprinting sites.

For nonresidents: Fingerprint cards with instructions will be mailed to the applicant by MorphoTrust USA after payment is made.

View additional fingerprinting information on the Florida website.

NOTE: Criminal history checks are valid for one (1) YEAR. This means that if an applicant applies for an additional class of insurance license during this one (1) year period, he/she will NOT be required to file another fingerprint card unless specifically requested to by the Department.
