CONNECTICUT AUTO APPRAISER TRAINING.

There are two components to handling an auto claim; appraising the damage to the vehicle and settling the claim itself. Appraisers play a key role in this process, since motor vehicle claims require specialized knowledge of auto repair that most adjusters simply don’t have. That’s where auto damage appraisers come in: these insurance professionals inspect vehicle damage, calculate the worth of the vehicle, and write an estimate for repair. Then the adjuster settles the claim based on the appraisal. Many states require adjusters to hold both licenses if they want to work on both parts of the claim — the appraisal and the settlement. Two states, Connecticut and South Carolina, require adjusters to hold both licenses to work on any part of an auto claim.

To obtain your Connecticut Auto Appraiser 12-CT-16 license, complete the following steps:

1. Meet the basic Connecticut Auto Appraiser Licensing Requirements

• Be at least 18 years old
• Be financially responsible and of good moral character

2. While Connecticut does not require a pre-licensing course, we recommend completing AdjusterPro’s Connecticut Motor Vehicle Damage Appraiser Exam Prep Course to ensure passing the written state exam

3. Register for and pass the Connecticut Appraiser Written Exam

• Register online with PearsonVUE

4. After passing the exam, submit your application through NIPR

5. Check to see if your license has been issued at CID Verify License Page

Additional licensing details are available on the CID website.

Connecticut allows you to hold both an adjuster license and an auto appraiser license in order to handle both parts of an auto claim: the appraisal and the settlement. Click on the adjuster compliance tab above for more information.
