Wyoming Insurance Adjuster Licensing Rules

Last scannedOct 19, 2026, 2:19 AM

In one sentence

This bill allows Canadian residents to obtain Wyoming insurance adjuster licenses and creates a specific exception from licensing for workers who only collect claim information or enter data into certified computer systems.

What it does

  • Allows residents of Canada to be licensed as Wyoming adjusters if they pass the adjuster examination and comply with other applicable provisions.
  • Allows residents of Canada to be licensed as nonresident adjusters if they hold a resident or home state license from another state with requirements similar to Wyoming's, as determined by the commissioner.
  • Creates an exception from licensing for individuals who collect or furnish claim information and conduct data entry, including into an automated claims adjudication system.
  • Limits this exception to no more than 25 individuals under the supervision of one licensed adjuster or licensed agent who is exempt from licensure.
  • Requires the automated claims adjudication system to be certified as compliant by a licensed independent adjuster who is an officer of the entity employing the individuals.

Who it affects

  • Insurance adjusters who live in Canada.
  • Workers who collect insurance claim information or enter data into computer systems.
  • Licensed adjusters or agents who supervise these data entry workers.

Limits and unknowns

  • The bill is marked as inactive, meaning it did not pass in the 2012 session.
  • The text does not specify the exact criteria the commissioner uses to determine if another state's licensing requirements are similar to Wyoming's.
