Adjusters Licenses
Resources for persons interested in renewing or obtaining adjuster licenses.
Notice: Adjuster Identification Requirement: As required by RSA 402-B:9, Adjusters are required to exhibit their license to each person, whether an insured, a claimant, a witness, a potential witness, or any other informant with whom he may deal in the course of investigating or adjusting any claim or potential claim prior to any such dealings and shall identify the name of the company for which he works and the name of the insured. The public is strongly encouraged to request photo identification in addition to the license issued by the department.
Insufficient Funds Policy: Pursuant to RSA 6:11-a, we are required to collect a fee of $25.00 or 5% of the face amount of the check (whichever is greater) in addition to $8.00 state treasury fees, on all checks returned for insufficient funds. Upon notification that a check for licensing fees has been returned, the licensee will be notified, and the license will be placed in suspended status immediately. If the financial obligation is not satisfied within 60 days, the license will be canceled.
