Adjuster License Requirements

To become a licensed Texas insurance adjuster, individuals must:
Be 18 years of age or more.

Submit the appropriate application and fees.

Be a United States citizen or legal alien who possesses a work authorization from the US Immigration and Naturalization Services.

Take a certified adjuster pre-licensing course or training program in adjusting losses as prescribed and approved by TDI, or successfully complete the Pearson Vue Exam.

If residing in another state that licenses adjusters, you must hold your home state’s license before becoming eligible for the Texas non-resident adjuster license.

NOTE: Sept. 1, 2012 Texas changed their exam administrator to Pearson Vue, HOWEVER, students do not have to take that exam and can fulfill the TDI requirement by taking an approved pre-licensing course.
