Take and pass the North Carolina independent adjuster state examination. The only exemption to this rule is if you are a Chartered Property Casualty Underwriter (CPCU). To get the candidate guide, contact Pearson VUE at 1-800-274-0668 or visit their website linked in the Resources section. This is the only company that distributes official guides, although there are other companies that do pre-licensing training classes for North Carolina. This training can help you pass the North Carolina exam, but pre-licensing training is not required for an adjuster license.

If you are a non-resident with an active home state insurance adjuster license, you can apply online through the link in the Resources secxtion. However, you must hold a license from a state that requires testing or North Carolina will not reciprocate it. If you are a non-resident from a state that licenses by testing and you are moving into North Carolina, you must apply within 90 days of moving to avoid taking the exam. Your former state's license must be cancelled first.
