The Department will no longer be mailing hard copy renewal notices to licensees.
Please visit SBS to update your email address.
Title 38, Chapter 47 of the South Carolina Code of Laws defines the regulations and requirements for insurance adjusters. Please visit our Public Adjusters page or Appraisers page if you looking for the licensing requirements for those license types.
Adjuster licenses are renewed in August of odd-numbered years. The fee is $80 unless you are a resident of a state that charges a fee in excess of $80 (e.g., the fee for North Carolina residents is $230 and the fee for Georgia residents is $115). Adjuster fees are retaliatory under SC Law so the amount charged by South Carolina will be the amount charged by your home state, subject to an $80 minimum.

Resident Adjusters
The following are requirements to become a resident adjuster:
- Complete the application on NIPR.
- The license fee is $80. The fee is not pro-rated and is non-refundable and non-transferable.
- Provide the original South Carolina Law Enforcement Division (SLED) report. You may submit this using NIPR's Attachment Warehouse or by emailing the Licensing Division.
- Applicants must pass the adjuster examination prior to applying for a license through NIPR. Exam certificates expire 12 months after issuance. Contact PSI directly at 833-518-7457 to register for the state licensing exam and/or view exam content outlines.
Non-Resident Adjusters
The following are requirements to become a non-resident adjuster:
- Complete the application on NIPR.
- The license fee is $80. If you are a resident of a state that charges a fee in excess of $80, your resident state fee will be assessed since fees are retaliatory under South Carolina Law.
- Examples of retaliatory fees are: North Carolina - $175 Georgia - $115
- If the applicant's home state does not require an adjuster examination, then a certificate can be used from another state where the applicant is licensed and has taken and passed an adjuster examination.
- If the above cannot be provided, then the applicant will be required to pass South Carolina's adjuster examination. Registration for South Carolina's adjuster examination is done through PSI Services LLC. Contact PSI directly at 833-518-7457. View exam content outlines.
SLED Report Requirements
Several licensing applications require a South Carolina Law Enforcement Division (SLED) report. The SLED report must be no more than three months old when it is submitted to the South Carolina Department of Insurance. A SLED report can be obtained by either submitting a written request to SLED or through their website. A stamped, self-addressed envelope must be submitted to SLED if obtaining a report through a written request. The fee for the report is $26 and must be paid by a company check or money order only.
Please do not send the South Carolina Department of Insurance information to SLED! The documentation will not be forwarded to the South Carolina Department of Insurance from SLED.
