To be eligible for a Certificate of Authority as a resident or non-resident public adjuster in Indiana, including business entities, the Indiana Department of Insurance requires a $10,000 Public Adjuster Bond from the applicant.

The bond provides financial assurance to the Department that the public adjuster will comply with Indiana license regulations. If a policyholder suffers damages because of negligence, unethical conduct, breach of contract, or fraud by the public adjuster, the bond may be used as restitution. The bond amount is not the price paid for the bond.

Last updated: June 2026. Indiana public adjuster bond requirements and filing instructions may change. Confirm final licensing instructions with the Indiana Department of Insurance before filing.

An Indiana Public Adjuster Bond is a financial guarantee that the public adjuster will comply with Indiana insurance laws, license regulations, and contractual obligations to policyholders.

Public adjusters work on behalf of policyholders regarding property and casualty claims. Because insurance claims can be complicated, Indiana requires the bond to help protect consumers from wrongful financial damages caused by negligence, unethical behavior, breach of contract, fraud, or other covered license violations.

Indiana Public Adjuster Bond vs Insurance

The Indiana Public Adjuster Bond protects the Indiana Department of Insurance, Indiana residents, policyholders, claimants, and damaged parties. It is not insurance for the public adjuster.

Multi-State Public Adjusters

Pricing Varies by State

Each state limit and license type is priced separately. Do not assume that two states with similar limits will have the same premium.

Renewal Timing Matters

Keep renewal dates organized so your public adjuster license remains active and the bond does not lapse or expire unexpectedly.
