Who Needs an Indiana Public Adjuster Bond?

1

Resident Public Adjusters

Indiana resident public adjuster applicants must provide proof of a $10,000 surety bond for the State of Indiana that is not more than six months old.

2

Non-Resident Public Adjusters

Non-resident public adjusters can be licensed in Indiana when they meet Indiana’s licensing requirements and maintain a valid public adjuster license in their home state.

3

Public Adjuster Business Entities

Indiana public adjuster business entities must provide proof of a $10,000 bond in the business name, specific for Indiana, and not more than six months old.

What Is the Purpose of an Indiana Public Adjuster Bond?

An Indiana Public Adjuster Bond is a financial guarantee that the public adjuster or public adjuster business entity will comply with Indiana public adjuster law, license requirements, and obligations to policyholders.

The bond can protect policyholders and damaged parties if a public adjuster commits covered acts such as negligence, unethical conduct, breach of contract, fraud, or other covered license violations. If the surety pays a valid claim, the bonded public adjuster or business entity must reimburse the surety.

Indiana Public Adjuster Bond vs Insurance

The Indiana Public Adjuster Bond protects others. It is not insurance for the public adjuster or business entity. Errors and omissions insurance may protect the adjuster directly, while the surety bond exists to satisfy licensing requirements and protect policyholders and damaged parties.

Indiana Public Adjuster Contract Approval

Indiana public adjuster contracts must be in writing, prepared on a form filed with and approved by the insurance commissioner, and executed in duplicate. This requirement applies separately from the surety bond requirement.

The bond satisfies the financial responsibility requirement for licensing, while the approved contract requirement applies to the agreement used with insureds.

Tip: Before providing public adjuster services in Indiana, confirm both items: the $10,000 surety bond requirement and approval of the public adjuster contract form.

Some regulators accept electronic filing, while others require proof of bond, original signed forms, paper applications, or state-specific uploads.

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.
