This guide walks you through exactly what you need to do after finishing your adjuster course, including crucial details like fingerprinting and citizenship requirements.
Step 1: Finish Your Adjuster Training Course
Upon successful completion of your course, you'll receive a Certificate of Completion from HurriClaim Training Academy (in partnership with MindCross Training). This certificate is required when submitting your application for the Florida adjuster license. (If you haven't already started a course enroll here now - finish in as little as 1 week)
Step 2: Update Your Profile Information
Before your paperwork can be processed, update your training account with your legal name and address. This step ensures your certificate matches your license application and avoids delays.
Step 3: Apply Online for Your Florida Adjuster License
Once you have your certificate, you are ready to begin your online license application through the Florida Department of Financial Services (DFS). For the latest application instructions and frequently asked questions, visit the official DFS website or reach out to their licensing bureau:
Step 4: Complete Fingerprinting Requirements
Fingerprinting is a mandatory part of the licensing process for both Florida residents and non-residents. Schedule your fingerprinting appointment through the DFS preferred vendor and make sure your fingerprints are submitted electronically to the DFS. You can also opt for Fingerprint Cards if needed.
For complete instructions and to make an appointment, visit the Fingerprinting Information page on the Florida DFS website.
Step 5: Confirm Citizenship or Legal Alien Status
All applicants must be a United States citizen or possess work authorization as a legal alien from the U.S. Bureau of Citizenship and Immigration Services. Double-check with Florida DFS to make sure you meet the current citizenship requirements.
