The New York Independent Adjuster Bond is required by the Superintendent of Insurance. The bond is required to be in the amount of $1,000 and to have a two-year term. New York requires resident and non-resident applicants to be bonded and to pass the New York adjuster exam specific to their line of insurance.

Other Requirements

All applicants for Public Adjuster (Resident and Non-resident) and Independent Public Adjuster (Resident and Non-resident) must submit the following in order to be licensed:

• Completed application form. Applicants may download the form from the Department of Financial Services website.
•  Payment for the licensing fee. The amount is $100 for full and $50 for half.
