Maryland Insurance Adjuster Licensing
Maryland does not offer a state-specific insurance adjuster license. If you want to be able to practice in the state of Maryland, we recommend you become licensed in Texas and claim Texas as your home state. Through reciprocity, this will allow you to work in Maryland.
