Connecticut Announces Online System for Adjuster/Appraiser Renewals

Connecticut Insurance Commissioner Katharine Wade announced that insurance adjusters and appraisers can now renew their Connecticut licenses online using the department’s paperless system operated through the National Insurance Producers Registry (NIPR).

“This will offer greater convenience to the thousands of adjusters and appraisers who have the critical role of processing claims for Connecticut consumers,” Commissioner Wade said. “The Department has already transitioned producers and surplus lines brokers to the online licensing system. The adjusters and appraisers are the final — and largest — block of licensees who will benefit from the enhanced efficiency.”

Insurance adjusters and appraisers must renew their licenses every two years. The department recently mailed notices to the nearly 60,000 adjusters whose licenses expire at the end of June. The entire renewal system, including payment, is now online, the department said. The renewal period is April 10 through June 30.

NIPR is a non-profit affiliate of the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) and was created through a public-private partnership to help make the producer-licensing process more cost-effective, streamlined and uniform for the benefit of regulators, the insurance industry and the consumers.
