PUBLIC ADJUSTER LICENSE FEES

License fees for Non-Resident Public Insurance Adjusters are retaliatory pursuant to South Carolina laws. Consequently, the fee will be the amount charged by your home state, subject to an $80.00 minimum. Examples of retaliatory fees are:

North Carolina $150.00  Georgia $100.00  Florida $80.00

South Carolina law provides for the payment of a reinstatement fee (residents $160.00 and Non-Residents double the retaliatory fee) as the penalty to relicense any public insurance adjuster following cancellation for failure to properly file the continuation form with the appropriate fee by the renewal deadline.

Public Insurance Adjuster licenses are continuous, if not cancelled or revoked. Therefore, a new license will not be issued. Your cancelled check will be your receipt.

If you do not wish to renew your license, please indicate on the Continuation Application and return it, along with your license to this Department. If you have any questions, please contact this office by phone at (803) 737-6095, (803) 737-6193 or by email at agntmail@doi.sc.gov.
