GA Adjuster License with a Misdemeanor Conviction—Will I Be Disqualified?

Good evening… :unamused:

I’m trying to get my adjuster license in Georgia and have a question about how my past might affect my application. When I was 19, I was charged with a felony, but it got reduced to a misdemeanor threat conviction. I’m now 23 and wondering if this will disqualify me from getting my license.
:grimacing:Has anyone been in a similar situation or know how the licensing process deals with past convictions?

Any misdemeanor offenses must be declared on your application :unamused:. Providing certified copies of the court records pertaining to your conviction is part of this.

The Georgia Office of Insurance and Safety Fire Commissioner will examine your application, :neutral_face: taking into account the type of offense, the date of the incident, and whether or not it casts doubt on your reliability and ability to serve as an adjuster.

:thinking: The Commissioner may choose to grant, deny, suspend, or cancel your license based on the particulars of your case.

For advice relevant to your circumstances, :unamused: it’s a good idea to speak with a legal expert or get in touch with the Georgia Office of Insurance and Safety Fire Commissioner directly.

:cowboy_hat_face:Although it might make the process more difficult, a misdemeanor conviction does not automatically preclude you from applying for a Georgia Adjuster License.
