Claims Adjuster Requirement for Non Resident Texas Applicants:

• Effective immediately, the Louisiana Department of Insurance (LDI) will require all Texas residents who are applying for a nonresident claims adjuster license in Louisiana to supply a copy of their Texas issued driver’s license to confirm Texas residency.  LDI has received a significant number of nonresident claims adjuster applications from individuals who have been issued a Texas resident license based on the use of Texas address who have a primary residence established in another state that issues adjuster licenses. Such individuals would only be eligible to apply for a nonresident license in Louisiana if they were licensed as a resident adjuster in that actual state of residence. 
• LDI has determined that a Texas-issued driver’s license will be the accepted documentation to verify Texas residency and eligibility to apply for a Louisiana nonresident Claims Adjuster license based on reciprocity with a Texas resident Adjuster license.  Applicants may provide a copy of their driver’s license by uploading to the NIPR Attachment Warehouse or by emailing a copy to producerlicensing@ldi.la.gov.
