Is There An Alabama Insurance Adjuster Exam?

Yes. To earn your AL adjuster license, you must complete the Alabama pre-licensing course, then pass the state exam. That said, our course makes this process easy by including your state exam in the online program! There is no additional testing required once you finish our course!

If you do not take our course you will have to go to a testing center to complete your state test. You will be asked to present a valid photo ID and an original certificate of completion from an approved pre-licensing provider when you arrive to take your examination. If you have not received the original certificate, you may present a copy only if the notary stamp and signatures are legible by proctor.

The exam is given at University of Alabama locations in Birmingham, Huntsville, Mobile, Tuscaloosa, Montgomery, and Gadsden. You can also register to take the exam online. Depending on which adjuster licensing exam you take, you will have between 100-150 questions and 120-180 minutes to complete the test.

NOTES:

• Alabama grants reciprocal licenses to adjusters who are licensed in their home state, except CA, HI, and NY. Candidates from these states applying for a Non-Resident Independent Adjuster license must take the appropriate prelicensing course and pass the Alabama exam.
• Alabama will accept a Designated Home State (DHS) license for adjusters whose home state does not license.
• Again, the state exam is included with our course!
