Effective September 12, 2026. Arizona law will permit certain salaried employees of an insurer or managing general agent (MGA) to obtain an Arizona adjuster license without taking the Arizona adjuster examination if all the following requirements are met:

1. Is a resident of Arizona and, before January 1, 2026, held an active designated home state (DHS) license in another state.
2. Is currently in good standing in the other state.
3. Submits an application for licensure, the required application fee, and fingerprints as required by law for an adjuster license by June 30, 2027.
4. Qualified for a DHS license in the other state by passing a state-approved examination.

A person who is licensed as an adjuster without taking the Arizona adjuster examination may adjust claims only as a salaried employee of an insurer or MGA and may not adjust claims on behalf of an insured or an insurer in any capacity other than as a salaried employee of the insurer or an MGA.

An adjuster license issued under these provisions is valid and renewable only for as long as the person continues to adjust claims as a salaried employee of the insurer or MGA.

A person who wishes to act as or claim to be an adjuster, as defined under Arizona law, must apply for and obtain an adjuster license.
