Virginia adjuster license
Virginia doesn't license independent adjusters. Here's how to work claims there anyway.
Working as an adjuster from Virginia
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 in VA (only Public Adjuster: exam 11-08, 60 min, 24 CE/2 yrs). Residents seeking IA credentials use a DHS license.
