Tip: Search by name or license number and review the person’s license status, appointments, and discipline/administrative actions (if any).
Why verifying an adjuster’s Florida license matters
- Protects you from unlicensed activity and misleading “adjuster” claims.
- Confirms the license is active (not expired, suspended, or revoked).
- Helps confirm proper appointment for the work being performed.
- Reduces claim risk before you share documents, photos, or access to your property.
Florida resident vs. non-resident adjuster
Florida has both resident and non-resident adjuster licensing. For many claims, working with a Florida-licensed professional who understands Florida building practices, local permitting realities, and Florida claim timelines can be beneficial.
What to check in the DFS licensee database
When you open the Florida DFS Licensee Search, review these items:
- License status: Active vs. inactive/expired/suspended.
- License type: Public adjuster vs. independent/company adjuster.
- Appointments: Whether an appointment is listed (when applicable).
- Discipline/complaints: Any posted administrative actions (if shown).
- Continuing education: Indications the professional remains compliant (where shown/required).

FAQ: Florida Adjuster Licensee Search
Is this DFS license lookup the official website?
Yes. The link above takes you to the official Florida Department of Financial Services (DFS) license search page.
What if someone says they’re an adjuster but doesn’t appear in the database?
That is a red flag. Ask for their license number and verify the exact spelling of their name. If they still do not appear or show as inactive, do not proceed until you confirm what’s going on.
Does an “active” license automatically mean the person is right for my claim?
No. Active licensing is a baseline. You should also evaluate experience with your claim type, communication, and whether they can explain the claim process and documentation requirements clearly.
Can I verify a public adjusting company too?
Yes. You can search individuals and, in many cases, related entities. If you’re unsure, search the individual licensee first and confirm the company information shown.
