There are two components to handling an auto claim; appraising the damage to the vehicle and settling the claim itself. Appraisers play a key role in this process, since motor vehicle claims require specialized knowledge of auto repair that most adjusters simply don’t have. That’s where auto damage appraisers come in: these insurance professionals inspect vehicle damage, calculate the worth of the vehicle, and write an estimate for repair. Then the adjuster settles the claim based on the appraisal. Many states require adjusters to hold both licenses if they want to work on both parts of the claim — the appraisal and the settlement. Two states, Connecticut and South Carolina, require adjusters to hold both licenses to work on any part of an auto claim.

To obtain your Vermont 14-37 Damage Appraiser license, complete the following steps:

1. Meet the basic Vermont Damage Appraiser Licensing Requirements
a. Be at least 18 years old
b. Be deemed competent, trustworthy, financially responsible, and of good personal and business reputation
c. Meet the experience requirement through one of the following:
– Have 2 years of experience in loss appraisal
– Have completed an approved training program
– Employed by and subject to the supervision of an appraiser who has been licensed at least 3 years in Vermont

2. While Vermont does not require a pre-licensing course, we recommend completing AdjusterPro’s Vermont Appraiser Exam Prep Course to ensure passing the state exam

3. Register for and pass the Vermont Damage Appraiser Exam
– Register online with Prometric

4. Submit application and test score report electronically through NIPR

Additional licensing details are available on the Vermont Auto Damage Appraiser Info page.

Vermont allows you to hold both an adjuster license and an auto appraiser license in order to handle both parts of an auto claim: the appraisal and the settlement. Click on the insurance adjuster tab above for more information.
