Montana Adjuster License Renewal & CE

This guide contains the costs, continuing education requirements, and links for Montana adjuster license renewal.

This guide is for Montana Residents and Designated Home State license holders. If you are renewing a non-resident license, scroll down to the non-resident section.

How to Renew Your Montana Adjuster License

MT adjuster license renewal is a simple process. Essentially, you’ll just need to complete your CE requirements and submit your renewal application before the expiration date. This guide will walk you through the process step-by-step.

You can find your expiration date using the State Based Systems license lookup tool.

Step 1: Complete your Continuing Education Requirements

The first step to renewing your Montana adjuster license is to complete your continuing education requirements (CE).

The CE requirement for adjusters is: 24 credits, including 3 in ethics and 1 in Montana legislative changes.

There are two ways to meet your continuing education requirements:

Take an Online CE Course

Online continuing education courses are the most common method to fill complete your CE. 

These are self-paced, video/text courses that fill your entire credit requirement. It’s the most simple and quick way to get the education you need. It’s also the most price-effective method.

Take a Class at an Adjuster Event

It is less common to fill your entire continuing education requirement at live events.

Adjuster conferences, conventions, and other events often offer CE credits for attending classes at the event. 

The downside is that these classes generally only offer 1-4 credit hours each. It’s better to see these classes as more targeted training, rather than a reliable CE path.

Check out our Adjuster Events page to find events near you.

When to Take Continuing Education Courses

You can take continuing education courses any time during your two year license term. 

The Montana Commission of Securities and Insurance recommends you finish your CE credits 30 days before your expiration date. This allows time for the course provider to submit proof of completion and for the state’s system to update. 

Step 2: Adjuster License Renewal Application

Once you’ve completed your CE, you can submit your renewal application during the renewal window.

CSI will send you a renewal notice when the renewal window opens. This is generally 60-90 days before the expiration date.

If you’ve changed your mailing or email address since your last renewal, be sure to update your information in NIPR so you don’t miss any correspondence from the state.

Submit your renewal using NIPR.

The adjuster license renewal fee is: $100

Montana Non-Resident Adjuster License Renewal

Renewing your non-resident Montana adjuster license is simple. The process includes keeping your home state license in good standing, and applying for renewal before the expiration date.

Keeping your home state license in good standing essentially means keeping up with your continuing education and renewing on time.

If that’s in order, all you have to do is submit your Montana non-resident adjuster license renewal.

Submit your renewal using NIPR.

The non-resident adjuster license renewal fee is: $100

License expiration dates from home states and non-resident states don’t often line up, so tracking all of your license data in a spreadsheet or calendar is a wise move.

Montana Adjuster License Late Renewal and Reinstatement

If you’ve let your license expire, depending on the length of time past the expiration date, there are options to submit a late renewal. 

As with the standard renewal, you must complete your CE requirements before a late renewal.

Up to 1 year after the expiration date, you can file a late renewal. The fee for late renewal is $200.

If your license is more than 1 year past the expiration date, you’ll need to apply for a new license. You can find those instructions on our Montana Adjuster License guide.
