The Wyoming Adjuster license

The Department's resident route is three steps and no course is in any of them: pass the Wyoming Insurance Adjuster Licensing Exam through Pearson VUE, apply and pay, and be fingerprinted. Anyone 18 or older may apply. The lines of authority are property, casualty and crop. On study material the Department is careful and worth quoting, because it is a disclaimer rather than a register: "The Wyoming Department of Insurance does not endorse any providers for pre-licensing education. The providers below are known to have pre-licensing study materials. They are listed for informational purposes only."It then names two on the adjuster page, Adjuster Pro and Agent Broker Training Center, neither of which is one of the seven sellers surveyed here.

For somebody whose own state does not license adjusters. The Department's claim for it is the widest on this site: "Wyoming offers a designated home state license that is accepted in all US states."It is a separate paper, the Wyoming Designated Home State Adjuster exam, rather than the resident one, and the rest of the process is the same. Texas is the other state here that sells its designation hard enough to have its own page on this site; Wyoming's difference is that it publishes the reciprocity test it applies to everybody else's designations in the same breath.

The Department writes it twice, once as a note on the exam step, "If you are applying to be a crop insurance adjuster you may bypass the exam if you hold a CAP certification", and again on the application step, "If you are applying for the crop line of authority you must pass the crop exam OR hold your CAP card prior to applying". This is the fourth state in four days to hang something on the same federal program and the third to hang an examination on it: Washington's Office calls it pre-licensing education and requires it of a federal crop adjuster; Hawaii takes the card in place of its paper under 431:9-222.5(a)(3); Wyoming takes it in place of one line's paper on a license with two other lines. The program is the same and the three regulators describe it three ways, which is why this site prints each one's own words rather than a house translation.

Wyoming reciprocates the resident license and grants the same lines of authority, and refuses where the home state's lines grant less than property, casualty or crop. Where the applicant cannot get an acceptable license at home, a designated home state license from another state will do, provided that state examined the applicant, fingerprinted them, and requires at least 24 hours of continuing education every two years including three of ethics. The Department publishes two lists against that test and they are unusually blunt. Residents of AK, AZ, AR, CT, DE, FL, GA, HI, IA, ID, KY, LA, ME, MI, MN, MS, MT, NC, NH, NM, NV, NY, OK, OR, PR, RI, SC, TX, UT, VT and WV must hold a resident license at home, because Wyoming will not reciprocate a designated home state license from any of them. AL, AR, FL, ID, LA, MN, MT, NC, NM, NV, OK, TX, UT, WA and WV offer designations Wyoming will take only where resident licensure is unavailable. The Department adds that it is still compiling the list of acceptable designated home state licenses, so the second list is a work in progress rather than a closed set.
