Become an Arkansas Insurance Adjuster

AdjusterPro's Bottom-line: Arkansas requires its residents to complete the Pearson-Vue adjuster exam before applying for an adjuster license. Non-residents who hold a license in their home state will be able to apply for the license without taking the exam. Non-residents whose home state does not license adjusters must take the Arkansas exam.

Adjuster License Requirements

To become a licensed Arkansas insurance adjuster, individuals must:

• Be 18 years of age.
• If a resident, have at least one year of experience in claims adjustment and/or must work under the direct supervision of an Arkansas licensed adjuster for 1 year after licensure to maintain the adjuster license.
• If a resident or a non-resident whose home state does license independent adjusters, successfully complete the Pearson-Vue exam.
• EXEMPTION: a salaried employee of an insurance company who only adjusts claims for said insurance company is exempt from licensure in Arkansas.
  • NOTE: Effective 7-31-2009, Arkansas Law requires all adjusters coming into Arkansas to adjust claims as a result of a declared catastrophe to register with the Arkansas Department of Insurance. Click Here to register.
