North Dakota adjuster license

North Dakota doesn't license independent adjusters. Here's how to work claims there anyway.

Working as an adjuster from North Dakota

Residents of states without an adjuster license usually get a designated home state (DHS) license from Texas or Florida — pass that state's adjuster exam (or approved course), get fingerprinted, and use the license to get nonresident licenses in states that require one. No independent adjuster license (only Public Adjuster: PSI exam $61, 100 Q, 120 min, $100 fee, $20,000 bond).
