Every way to qualify

  1. Route 1 Be requested by an admitted insurer during a declared catastrophe

    No state exam for this license

    A catastrophe the Commissioner has declared

    • A catastrophe declared by the Commissioner of Insurance; the Department states that when a disaster is declared a red notice appears at the top of its website, and that it does not license emergency adjusters otherwise

    and a license at home, or an acceptable designation

    • an adjuster license for the requested lines in the individual's home state, or a designated home state license Wyoming accepts

    and the insurer's daily filing

    • A request from an insurer admitted in Wyoming, made on the Department's Emergency Adjuster Registration Form with a master spreadsheet emailed each day listing every emergency adjuster used so far and every previously unused adjuster wanted for the next day, giving the insurer's name and five digit NAIC number, the date authorization is requested for, and for each adjuster a first and last name, date of birth, NPN, home state, home state license number, mobile number and business email address

    W.S. 26-9-219(c) is the statute and the Department quotes it whole. Two things in it are worth carrying. It reaches an adjuster who acts "by physical appearance or through electronic or other means", so working a Wyoming loss remotely needs the license just as being there does, which nothing else on this site says out loud. And its exemption is drafted around expertise as well as scale: no Wyoming license is required where the loss "is of an unusual, uncommon or unique nature requiring special expertise or knowledge not readily available among adjusters licensed in this state", or for a series of losses from a catastrophe common to them, with the insurer notifying the commissioner before the unlicensed adjuster acts. The Department's process is stricter than the statute. Individuals may not apply at all; only an admitted insurer may request authorization, one spreadsheet a day, and authorization must be granted before the adjuster goes to the field. Ninety days maximum, or the end of the catastrophe declaration, whichever comes first. Alabama and Hawaii also put the filing on the insurer; neither asks for it daily.

No national seller sells a course for this license. There is nobody to sell to: an individual may not apply for emergency authorization at all, only an admitted insurer may request it, and no examination or qualification of Wyoming's own attaches to it.
