Florida Insurance Adjuster
AdjusterPro's Bottom-line: Florida residents must either take the state exam or complete an approved course that waves the state exam (see below). Non-resident applicants who have an adjuster license that is reciprocal with Florida do not need to take the Florida Independent Adjuster Examination. All CE requirements can be met through AdjusterPro's online CE University.
