Wyoming Adjuster Licensing Information

WYOMING RESIDENTS
Anyone 18 years old or older can apply for an insurance license. The steps you need to follow if you are a Wyoming resident are:
Pass the Wyoming Insurance Adjuster Licensing Exam
*NOTE: If you are applying to be a crop insurance adjuster you may bypass the exam if you hold a CAP certification
Apply for your license and pay the licensing fees
*Providing all available documents regarding any administrative actions or criminal convictions you may have will shorten the time necessary for review of your application. In most circumstances, a license may be granted even if you have felony convictions. However, additional documentation and written permission from the Commissioner will be necessary for certain felony convictions.
Get your fingerprints taken and sent to the Department for a background check (A fingerprinting packet will be mailed to you after you have applied)
NON-RESIDENTS
If an adjuster has a resident address in a state which offers adjuster licensing, Wyoming will reciprocate the resident license and grant a non-resident license with the same lines of authority as the resident state license. If the lines of authority held in the licensee's home state grant less authority than the property, casualty, or crop lines of authority Wyoming will not reciprocate.
If the applicant is unable to obtain an acceptable license in their home state they may apply using a Designated Home State license from a state that would meet the following requirements:
The applicant must pass an exam prior to licensure
A fingerprinted background check is completed
A minimum of 24 hours of continuing education is completed every 2 years, with a minimum of 3 hours of ethics.
The Department is in the process of compiling a list of acceptable DHS state licenses.
DESIGNATED HOME STATE LICENSING
Wyoming offers a designated home state license that is accepted in all US states. The process for obtaining a DHS license is as follows:
Pass the Wyoming Designated Home State Adjuster exam
Apply for your license and pay the licensing fees
*Providing all available documents regarding any administrative actions or criminal convictions you may have will shorten the time necessary for review of your application. In most circumstances, a license may be granted even if you have felony convictions. However, additional documentation and written permission from the Commissioner will be necessary for certain felony convictions.
Get your fingerprints taken and sent to the Department for a background check. (A fingerprinting packet will be mailed to you after we receive your application.)
