Description
The Designated Home State (DHS) license was created to provide residents of non-licensing states a means to designate a home state for the purposes of reciprocity and compliance. You should only obtain a DHS License if you reside in one of the following non-licensing states: Colorado, Illinois, Kansas, Maryland, Massachusetts, Missouri, Nebraska, New Jersey, North Dakota, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Tennessee, Virginia, Washington D. C., or Wisconsin.
A DHS license basically works just like having your home state license and is vital if you want to work any claims outside of your non-licensing state. While a host of different states offer a DHS license, the Florida 70-20 Nonresident DHS license is our top recommendation. It offers great reciprocity, you can take the exam online with us, and Florida has the quickest application turnaround time in the country.
Florida DHS adjuster candidates must take an approved pre-licensing course and pass an exam before applying for their license. Our Florida Certified Adjuster Pre-licensing Course satisfies both requirements. Once you complete the course and pass the included exam, you can apply for your 70-20 license. Our Florida Certified Adjuster Designation is the fastest and simplest way to get your Designated Home State License.
While obtaining your license is the most important step to becoming a claims adjuster, you shouldn’t stop there! Our Total Adjuster Package was developed to give new adjusters everything they need to get started, get hired, and get to work. Plus, you’ll save almost $250 off individual pricing when you bundle your Florida Pre-Licensing Course + Exam, Xactimate Training, Residential Construction Basics, Soft Skills: The Art of Insurance Adjusting, and our Adjuster Success Method.
Note: After purchase, all of these courses will be available in your personal online classroom. We highly recommend you take them in the order they are listed below. While our Xactimate course is approved for CE in certain states, you must hold a valid license before taking any course you intend to submit for continuing education credit.

Loved the format and structure of the program. I loved the print outs and the flashcards really helped me study. The highlighter tool also did not work for me, which I was really looking forward to using.
It would be nice to be able to skip through some of the videos once the person has already read the transcript and wrote down all the notes needed.

Solid course for prep. Content is clear and covers all exam topics with videos and quizzes. The platform is user-friendly, although it logs you out every once in a while. Practice exams are spot-on and super helpful. Overall, worth it for passing the exam! 4/5

Throughout this course, I’ve taken notes on slides that had problems, and I wanted to share them with you.
3-B Coverages D & E 1.3 Civil Authority Coverage: Long pause at the end of the video.
5-D Ocean Marine Terms 1.3 General Terms Goods: Cost and Freight is labeled (CRF) instead of CFR.
I took notes on 3-C Personal Auto, and Personal Auto Policy Popular PAP Endorsements, but I just went back through and saw you already fixed it 😀
This course is really amazing, and I really did enjoy the humor added to some of the slides. I also REALLY appreciate the gray summarized text boxes on all of the article-type slides for my state-specific information. The narrators are really well spoken and have the perfect amount of energy to be enjoyable, whilst not driving me to sleep. I’m very grateful I took this course, and I’d definitely recommend it to everyone who’s interested in getting their adjusting license. I felt very prepared for the Final Exam as well, overall amazing experience, 5 stars!

This course provided excellent material that will undoubtably help me in my career as an insurance adjuster. It was not always easy understanding the material, but the format was very flexible and self paced which I loved! My only complaint, and it’s not a major one, is the feedback after quizzes and tests could use some refining. Often, I would find the feedback was just repeating the question along with the answer rather than elaborating on why the correct answer was the right one. Maybe some polish on that would help other students. Either way, great course and I can’t wait to see where this will take me! Thanks Adjusterpro!
