What are the requirements to have a Public Adjuster License in Delaware?

A public adjuster, according to the Delaware Code, is a person who:

a. Acts or aids, solely in relation to first party claims arising under insurance contracts that insure the real or personal property of the insured, on behalf of an insured individual in negotiating for, or effecting the settlement of, a claim for loss or damage covered by an insurance contract;

b. Advertises for employment as an adjuster of insurance claims or solicits business or represents oneself to the public as an adjuster of first party insurance claims for losses or damages arising out of policies of insurance that insure real or personal property; or

c. Directly or indirectly solicits business, investigates or adjusts losses or advises an insured about first-party claims for losses or damages arising out of policies of insurance that insure real or personal property for another person engaged in the business of adjusting losses or damages covered by an insurance policy.

Title 18 of the Delaware Insurance Code states that no person can operate as a public adjuster unless they are licensed. To obtain a Public Adjuster License, the applicant must complete the following:

1. Submit either a Resident Application or a Non-Resident Application through the NIPR
2. Remit the applicable license fee to the Delaware Insurance Commissioner
3. File with the Commissioner a Delaware Public Adjuster Bond in the amount of $20,000 issued by a company licensed to do business in Delaware
