Louisiana Adjuster Licensing Reciprocity: Texas Residency Verification Explained

Effective immediately, the Louisiana Department of Insurance (LDI) requires all Texas residents applying for a Louisiana nonresident claims adjuster license to provide proof of Texas residency. Applicants must submit a copy of a valid Texas-issued driver’s license. This requirement ensures eligibility under reciprocity agreements and reduces the number of applications submitted with inaccurate residency information.

Why the Change?

LDI has observed an increase in applications from individuals using Texas mailing addresses while maintaining a primary residence in another state that issues adjuster licenses. Such applicants are only eligible for a Louisiana nonresident license if they hold a resident adjuster license in their actual state of residence. Requiring a Texas driver’s license ensures that reciprocity is applied correctly and only qualified Texas residents benefit from the arrangement.

How to Submit Documentation

Applicants may provide a copy of their Texas driver’s license using one of two methods:

• Upload directly to the NIPR Attachment Warehouse: Help-using-the-attachment-warehouse
• Email: Send a copy to producerlicensing@ldi.la.gov, including your full name and NIPR transaction number in the subject line.

Failure to submit the documentation promptly may delay application processing.

Who is Affected?

This requirement applies only to Texas residents applying for a Louisiana nonresident claims adjuster license. Applicants from other states should continue to follow the existing documentation requirements.

Summary

The LDI’s updated documentation policy highlights the importance of accurate residency verification in the adjuster licensing process. Texas residents seeking a Louisiana nonresident claims adjuster license should review their applications carefully, include a copy of their driver’s license, and follow the state’s outlined submission procedures to avoid delays.
