Nonresident reciprocal licensure
- Application
- Submit the proper request, application and fee under § 1708.
- Canadian Applicant
- A Canadian resident must have another designated home state or another state’s resident adjuster license.
- Department Crop Demand
- For crop authority the Department procedures state: “Non-Resident Crop Adjusters are required to submit a copy of their CAPP Card in lieu of an exam.” Rule 506 § 5.1 states: 5.1 All individuals applying for a multi-peril crop insurance adjuster license are required to pass the Risk Management Agency-approved Proficiency test for multi-peril crop insurance adjusters. The higher-ranked statutory waiver controls; these additional implementation demands remain conditions.
- Home Examination
- The home-state examination is applicant evidence, never a Delaware leaf. Applicants from a home state lacking adjuster examination requirements have separate Delaware exam routes.
