• After you have passed examinations for all license classes you wish to be licensed for, apply online at NIPR.com.
  • The application will ask you for both a business and residence phone number. You must supply business and residence phone numbers. These can be the same number, but both fields need to be filled.
• Submit the Criminal Records Request form (Form 4862).

NOTE: The business entity (agency) also must file an affiliation of adjuster (Form 2139) within 30 days.
