Can a Kentucky adjuster license be held by a business entity?

In Kentucky, the adjuster license is specifically designed to be held by individual persons rather than business entities. This structure ensures that the responsibilities and ethical obligations of the adjuster are directly associated with a qualified individual who has completed the necessary training and meets the licensing requirements.

Having an individual license promotes accountability, as each adjuster must adhere to the state laws, regulations, and codes of conduct governing their profession, which are grounded in personal qualification and integrity. This individual focus on licensing is a standard practice in many states to ensure a high level of professionalism and personal responsibility in the field of claims adjusting.

While businesses may be involved in the insurance and claims process, the licensing requirement ensures that there is a knowledgeable individual within the organization who is responsible for the actions taken on behalf of the business in terms of claims adjusting. This structure helps to maintain consumer trust and professional standards within the industry.
