If you fail to select all the lines of authority you wish to apply for, you will have to reapply through NIPR to add the line with additional fees.
The Department will not add that line without the licensing fee.
FINGERPRINT REQUIREMENT
Effective April 1, 2015, all individual resident applicants seeking to become licensed as Adjusters, or who are adding a new line of authority
to an existing Adjuster license, must have completed a Fingerprint background check. You should seek to get fingerprinted after passing the state
exam and one day before applying for the license.
Please be aware the fingerprint results will remain in our system only 30 days after you are fingerprinted. If the application reaches the DOI after
those 30 days you will have to get fingerprinted again and again pay the required fee. **Note: The Department can only utilize fingerprints processed
through Fieldprint. We also cannot accept fingerprints completed for any reason outside of pursuing an insurance license from the Alabama Department of
Insurance. The fingerprints will be utilized to conduct a federal and state criminal background check per Producer fingerprint requirements:
Ala. Code § 27-7-4.4, Adjuster fingerprint
requirements: Ala. Code § 27-9A-17 and
Title agent fingerprint requirements: Ala. Code § 27-25-4.6. Being
possessed of sound mind and legally competent to complete this request, the applicant authorizes the Alabama Department of Insurance, to obtain any and
all criminal history information on said applicant from the ALEA and/or FBI. Applicant may challenge or appeal any portion of his/her own Criminal History
Record Information (CHRI) that he/she believes to be incomplete or inaccurate by contacting the Records & Identification Division within ALEA 334-353-4340.
