- Fees shown are state fees only. These fees do not include NIPR transaction fees.
- Fees are per application.
- Additional Fee: Resident Public Adjuster, Resident Independent Adjuster and Resident Producer $10 (Technology Fee)
- Technology fee - The 2020 legislature passed a provision that requires many applicants for licensure and current licensees to pay up to a $10 fee to cover the costs associated with implementing the Department's electronic licensing systems. This new legislation affects insurance producers, public adjusters and independent adjusters and is added to the total cost of the license or license renewal. In return for paying the technology fee, insurance producers and their education providers will no longer have to pay on a per transaction basis to use many of the online services such as printing a license, requesting letters of certification, making address or name changes, etc.
