Georgia insurance adjuster license

You'll need 16 hours of property and casualty adjuster courses, a pass on a 2-hour Pearson VUE exam at 70%, and $120 for the Georgia insurance adjuster license. Georgia's Office of Commissioner of Insurance also licenses crop/hail, workers' compensation and public adjusters, each with its own rules.

What do you need for a Georgia insurance adjuster license?

  1. Take 16 hours of property and casualty adjuster courses, 8 for each major line, within the 12 months before you apply. The provider reports your completion electronically.
  2. Book and pass the Pearson VUE Adjuster exam.
  3. Get fingerprinted through IdentoGO.
  4. Upload a notarized citizenship affidavit and a copy of your ID to Sircon.
  5. Apply through Sircon and pay $120. The Pearson VUE handbook splits it into a $100 license fee and a $20 processing fee.

The Georgia adjuster exam

The Georgia outline gives the Adjuster exam 100 scored questions plus 5 pretest questions, and the October 2026 handbook allows 2 hours. You need 70% correct to pass.

The handbook lists the fee as $67, while OCI's adjuster page still shows $63. You pay Pearson VUE when you book, so the price it shows then is what you'll pay.

Exemptions and other adjuster licenses

The CPCU, the Universal Claims Certification and a PhD in insurance exempt you from the course and exam; a BBA in insurance exempts you from the course only. Crop/hail adjusters need a CAPP card and workers' compensation adjusters the CWCP designation, with no exam for either. Public adjusters take their own exam and post a $5,000 bond.

Staff adjusters and nonresidents

Salaried staff adjusters employed by an insurer aren't licensed in Georgia. The insurer registers them each March for $50 per adjuster plus a $5 processing fee per transaction.

Nonresidents apply through NIPR or Sircon for $120 with a valid home-state adjuster license. If your home state doesn't license adjusters, you can get a Georgia designated home state license, which needs the Georgia course, the exam and fingerprints.
