What do you need for a Georgia insurance adjuster license?
- 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.
- Book and pass the Pearson VUE Adjuster exam.
- Get fingerprinted through IdentoGO.
- Upload a notarized citizenship affidavit and a copy of your ID to Sircon.
- 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.
