What are the different adjuster licenses in Florida?

The highest level of licensing for an adjuster in Florida is known as the All Lines License. There are three types: 1. The company license is an insurance company employee, known as a 6-20 license; 2. The independent adjuster license is known as the 5-20 license; and 3. The public adjuster license is known as the 3-20. The 5-20 and 6-20 can be obtained through a designation course offered by the University of Central Florida/Florida Insurance University. The course excuses the student from the state licensing test. The 3-20 license requires a state exam. In addition, as of January 1, 2009, the public adjuster applicant will have to serve a 12 month apprenticeship under a licensed public adjuster before taking the state test.
