| What is a cat license? Most castrophe adjusters have a adjusters license issued by the state which they live. |

| There is no such thing as a "cat" license and, to the best of my knowledge, there are no state adjuster licensing courses on-line. Florida has the Andy Beverly "crash" course which is a 3-day, 10 hour per day brutal barrage of the most common 350 questions asked on the 75 question Florida adjuster's exam. Florida colleges also offer 6-week courses which are more in-depth. If I were getting started today, I would get a Florida or Texas license (these are the two main cat sites). State licenses are not reciprocal but you can get a temp license when you arrive in a state where you are not licensed. This is a responsibility of your employer but I would cover myself and be sure it is done. In Florida, if you are caught adjusting without a license the employer may have to pay a $10,000.00 fine per employee (at least that is what the fine was during Andrew and I doubt it has gone down since '92). |

Actually, several states offer reciprocity. Check with Texas, Oklahama, South Carolina, and Florida directly to see which states they reciprocate with. Several adjusters I know have a Texas license, and have reciprocated into an Oklahoma license.

| My take on reciprocity is...that while you still need to obtain the state license where you are working(if required in that state), your license in Texas or Florida may "prequalify" you and meet licensing requirements. Some states do not allow non-resident licensing. Claims magazine had an article on reciprocity earlier this year. |

| I have an All-Lines Florida Adjusters License and also carry a Texas non-resident All-Lines License, that was reciprocal. No test required, just an application, certified copy of the Florida license and cash. Be careful, always contact the the Insurance dept. of each state. I know a few people that have paid for quick class and test, not knowing they didnt need it. Florida and Texas are good licenses to have. |
