What is the Florida All Lines License?

Answer 1

The Florida All Lines License is the highest level of licensing for a Florida Claims Adjuster. There are three types of All Lines licenses:

1. The 6-20 Company license is available to insurance company employees; 2. The 5-20 Independent license is available to anyone not a direct insurance company employee; 3. The 3-20 Public Adjuster license (represents property owners against insurance companies)

The 6-20 and 5-20 licenses are available through the Accredited Claims Adjuster designation offered by the University of Central Florida/Florida Insurance University. The designation excuses or exempts the applicant from the state licensing exam.

The 3-20 license requires passing the state licensing test and posting a $50,000 surety bond. As of January 2009, additional requirements regarding an apprenticeship and new continuing education will take effect.
