A. Application for a license as an adjuster shall be made to the Insurance Commissioner upon forms prescribed and furnished by the Commissioner. As a part of and in connection with the application, the applicant shall furnish such information concerning the applicant's identity, personal history, business experience, business record and such other pertinent information which the Commissioner shall reasonably require.

B. Unless denied licensure pursuant to Section 6220 of this title, a nonresident applicant shall receive a nonresident adjuster license if:

1. The applicant has passed an examination in the applicant’s home state or in another state in which the applicant is currently licensed and in good standing;

2. The applicant is currently licensed and in good standing in the home state of the applicant;

3. The applicant has submitted the proper request for licensure and has paid the fees required by Section 6212 of this title; and

4. The applicant’s home state awards nonresident adjuster licenses to residents of this state on the same basis.

C. If a nonresident applicant’s home state does not license or require an examination for an adjuster license, the adjuster may declare another state which has an examination requirement and in which the adjuster is licensed to be the home state. Should the applicant not hold an active adjuster license in his or her home state or declared home state, the applicant shall pass the adjuster examination of this state prior to receiving a nonresident adjuster license.

D. An individual who is a resident of Canada shall not be licensed pursuant to the Insurance Adjusters Licensing Act nor designate this state as the individual's home state, unless the individual has successfully passed the adjuster examination and has complied with all applicable requirements of the Insurance Adjusters Licensing Act; except that any such applicant shall not be required to comply with paragraph 2 of subsection A of Section 6206 of this title or Section 6215 of this title.
