The Delaware Casualty Adjuster license

18 Del. C. 1707(d)(2). An adjuster's license conveys authority to investigate and negotiate settlement of claims in one or more of seven lines, and this is one of them. 18 Del. C. 1705(a) asks a resident individual applying for a license to pass a written examination unless exempt under 1709, and the examination it describes tests the lines applied for, the duties of an adjuster, general insurance knowledge, insurance ethics as established by the Commissioner, and Delaware's own insurance law. 1706(a) is the closed list of what the Commissioner must find before approving the application: at least 18 years old, no act that is a ground for denial under 1712, the fees under chapter 7 paid, and the examinations passed unless specifically exempted. No course is in it, and the residency test at 1706(a)(5) is written for a resident producer license and reaches no further. The score keeps for 12 months under 1705(e) and 1705(d) sets no cap on sittings. Delaware's examination vendor sets a paper for it of its own (InsDE-CasAdj15, one hour thirty minutes and the longest adjuster paper Delaware sets).

18 Del. C. 1709(a). Somebody previously licensed for the same lines of authority in another state completes neither prelicensing education nor an examination. The exemption holds while that other license is current, or if the application arrives within 90 days of its cancellation and the prior state certifies good standing at that point, or the NAIC producer database shows it for the line being asked for.

18 Del. C. 1709(b). Somebody licensed as a producer, adjuster or appraiser in another state who moves here has 90 days from establishing legal residence to apply as a resident licensee under 1706, written as a duty rather than an option. No prelicensing education or examination is required for a line of authority previously held in the prior state except where the Commissioner determines otherwise by regulation. The subsection names all three licenses, which is what settles that chapter 17's exemptions are not producer-only.
