Which Adjuster Licenses Will Get You Hired for Auto Desk Work

Strategic licensing is the key to landing auto desk deployments, with firms prioritizing adjusters who hold multiple state licenses for maximum claim-handling flexibility. While most experienced desk adjusters eventually acquire 20+ licenses, you can gain an advantage by strategically selecting which licenses to obtain first.

• Firms filter deployment candidates by looking for adjusters with licenses in all affected states
• Weather patterns should guide your licensing strategy (Midwest states for hail season, Gulf states for hurricane season)
• Hard-to-obtain licenses like South Carolina appraiser's or New York adjuster license make you more valuable
• States requiring special appraiser's licenses create barriers that can help you make the "short list"
• Having licenses in frequently hit states increases your chances of being selected for deployments
• Knowledge and competence remain essential—licenses alone won't help if you can't do the job
