Adjusters

Notification: 

 To improve licensing efficiencies with the state of Maine, we strongly encourage non-resident adjuster applicants to verify their Designated Home State (DHS) prior to the October renewal period.  

Maine will be reviewing the DHS during the renewal cycle, and if it is incorrect, your application may be rejected, and the fee will be retained.  

Adjusters residing in states that do not license adjusters can select a Designated Home State (DHS). The DHS is the state in which the adjuster does not maintain their principal place of residence or business and qualifies for the license as if they were a resident.   A state whose laws permit a nonresident adjuster to designate that state as their home state, will require the nonresident to qualify for the license as if the person were a resident.   

Here are three ways to verify your DHS for Maine: 

1.                       Download your free PDB report (Individuals are entitled to one free report within a 12-month period): https://nipr.com/products-and-services/producer-database/get-report 

2.                       Download the NIPR Mobile App to view licensing information 

3.                       Review your current DHS on Maine’s public license lookup: https://www.pfr.maine.gov/ALMSOnline/ALMSQuery/SearchIndividual.aspx?Board=1040 

 If your DHS is incorrect, please contact the Maine Bureau of Insurance at insurance.pfr@maine.gov to update the DHS prior to submitting your renewal application. All applicants should be very aware of which state is their resident state or DHS and complete the renewal application accordingly. 

For questions, please contact the Maine Bureau of Insurance at 207-624-8475 or by email insurance.pfr@maine.gov.
