The Nevada Independent Adjuster license

Nevada asks no pre-licensing course of an adjuster. The Division's own page for this license sets out what an applicant does and the education it names is the 24 hours of continuing education owed each license term, three of them ethics, which falls after licensure rather than before it. The examination is Pearson VUE's and has to be passed before the application. The Division's definition has three limbs and all of them have to be true: the person contracts with the insurer or self-insurer as an independent contractor or as the employee of one, is treated for tax purposes as an independent contractor rather than an employee, and investigates, negotiates or settles property, casualty, surety or workers' compensation claims. This is the only adjuster license Nevada issues to business entities as well as individuals alongside the public adjuster. Three bars come from the parent Adjuster page and they apply to every adjuster license Nevada issues. A licensee may hold only one type of adjuster license in Nevada. A licensee may not be in the business of repairing auto bodies or own a controlling interest in one. And a licensee may not be concurrently licensed as a producer for property, casualty or surety, or as a surplus lines broker, with the single exception of a bail agent. No other state on this site forbids an adjuster from also holding a producer license.

The Division states the test rather than naming the states: Nevada is reciprocal with, and accepts a designated home state license from, any state that requires an examination for the adjuster or designated home state adjuster license. A non-resident whose own home state does not issue the license type or line of authority sought may designate another state instead, and an applicant who designates Nevada takes Nevada's own requirements in full.
