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.

For not knowing anything about becoming an adjuster this was a very interesting course. This really opened my eyes to knowing a lot more about the insurance industry and the different types of insurances. I build my confidence in with by taking the study courses and I loved how the pre-exams were very helpful. It took me some time I gave myself time to review all the material in this course on my time. This course I can honestly say help me understand and guide me through the exam with ease.

I was really nervous about starting this at first. As I went through it, I found that the fast facts sheets were a life saver. I tried to just write notes as I went but then I started printing the fast facts sheets and making notes on those as I went through each module, and it was so much better. I wish I would have done that from the beginning. I started halfway through and then I started moving faster and understanding better. I was extremely nervous the first time I took the proctored test, and did not pass it. I was distracted and second guessed every question. The second time I took it and saw that passing score I was so excited I could not contain myself. I had to have tech support the first time and they were so helpful and really easy to work with. They showed me why the proctor link wasn’t working at first. This is really well put together and organized. Thank you so much. I would recommend this 10 out of 10 to anyone seeking their Indiana adjuster’s license.
