If I apply for a license in CA will I be rejected on the basis that I do not have 2 years of adjusting experience?

I have been working for Parr Inspections for the past 6 months and for an independent adjuster for an additional 6 months. I still lack a year of work experience as far as California requirements go.

Any insight would be appreciated.

Do you actually believe any member of this site would advise you to lie on your application? Seems you need to get your other year in the trenches and then apply.

This industry is strickly regulated ....and for anyone to assume there will be no regulation is seriously misled......although regulation may seem to be initially unnoticeable let there be no question that eventually consequences will be applied ..........

qtmspin, if I interpret your post correctly, you are planning to lie on your application and hope you don’t get caught. If my interpretation is correct, it is your intent to obtain your license fraudulently. If that is the case, this profession may not be for you, or rather you may not be right for this profession.

I have worked as an IA many times in California. Never been requested to have license. Fair Practice Certification but no license. Just make sure you leave the state before 365 days. Tax issues arise.

If you use your resume and schools you have attended, you may request a waiver. Talk to them first and ask if they ever do this. Most state requirements have waivers, it won't hurt to try.

I received my California IA license in 1974 after 5 yrs in the biz. In those days you had to submit letters of recommendation from three former employers or supervisors. I don't think any credible person would do so. I sincerely doubt he has the knowledge to pass the test with 6 mo experience as an adjuster. My advice to him is to do it the old fashioned way, get the experience, learn, study and take the test when you're "legal".

Good thing you edited your self incriminating post. But most of us remember the lack of integrity displayed.

Thank you Newt for the positive advice. It is a shame that more posters do not follow your example.

To whomever "qtm spin" is, it is a bit late to attempt to make "a silk purse from a sow's ear", or "gild the lilly"; as is said.
