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:
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.
Contact Florida DFS for specific questions about prior criminal history.
