With no pre-licensing exam and no continuing education requirements, obtaining your insurance adjuster license in the state of Alabama is one of the easier licensing procedures a claims adjuster will encounter. Follow these 3 steps to obtain and maintain your adjuster license in this important hurricane claims region of the gulf.

Individuals applying for an insurance adjuster license in Alabama must be 19 years of age or older. According to the Alabama Department of Insurance, experience requirements mandate that you either "be

1) a full-time salaried employee of a licensed adjuster or

2) a graduate of a recognized law school or

3) have experience or special education or training in the handling of loss claims under insurance contracts of sufficient duration and reasonable extent to make him or her competent to fulfill the responsibilities of an adjuster." The Department further specifies that applicants be trustworthy and of good character. Finally, it is specified that adjusters with an Alabama license should maintain a public office with access to records pertinent to all claims transactions done in the state.

In order to obtain this license, you will need to fill out Alabama Adjuster Application Form AL-90 and include the mandatory application fee of $100. For out of state adjusters - Alabama's reciprocal licenses policies are very generous. Alabama grants reciprocal licensing privileges to those adjusters who hold a license in their home state, or, if their state doesn't have an adjuster licensing requirement, from any other state.

Licensed Alabama adjusters must renew their license once a year by submitting a renewal application and a $80 renewal fee. There are no Continuing Education requirements mandated by the Department of Insurance for adjusters.

In summary, qualified adjusters wishing to become licensed in Alabama need only submit an application to become licensed. No exam and no continuing education are required to successfully obtain and maintain your license. Independent adjusters interested in working catastrophic claims should strongly consider obtaining the Alabama adjuster license as the more densely populated coastal regions are highly susceptible to hurricanes. As well as enabling you to work in Alabama, holding this license will increase your own marketability as an independent claims adjuster by increasing your geographic versatility.
