    • Certification by a Mississippi licensed public adjuster.

    No examination and no pre-licensing hours. These licenses are issued only after a catastrophe or emergency "which arises out of a disaster, Act of God, riot, civil commotion, conflagration or other similar occurrence". The Department's adjuster page carries a live example from January 2017, a Governor's proclamation for Forrest, Lamar, Perry, Marion and Jones counties after tornadoes, and adds the limit that matters: "If the individual already holds an MS independent adjuster license, an emergency adjuster license is not required." "This license is not eligible for renewal and will expire no more than 180 days from issuance."The Department's fee schedule prices every individual adjuster license at $100.00 and lists the emergency and trainee ones under that heading. The instruction sheets for the emergency and trainee licenses say $50.00 and are dated 01/08. The schedule is the current document and is what is recorded on this page. The ordinary public adjuster license is separately regulated by 19 Miss. Admin. Code Part 1, Chapter 36, whose current text took effect on 1 July 2025.

Mississippi asks for no examination and no course for an emergency public adjuster license. No national seller prices a product for it.
