How Long Does It Take to Get a Texas Adjuster License?
The honest answer is that the timeline depends on how quickly you complete each step.
There are four main parts:
Complete the pre-licensing course
Pass the included exam
Complete the fingerprint process
Submit the online license application through Sircon
The course timeline
With the online course, students can move at their own pace.
That is one of the biggest advantages of online pre-licensing. You do not have to wait for the next classroom date, travel to a training location, or work around a full classroom schedule.
Adjuster Academy of Texas has built its online Texas All-Lines course as an at-your-own-pace online training based on the same 40-hour course curriculum and state-approved exam used in the in-house training facility.
The exam timeline
After completing the course material, students take the included exam.
Once the student successfully passes the exam, Adjuster Academy provides links to the next licensing steps: TDI fingerprint instructions/code and the Sircon online application.
The fingerprint timeline
TDI says applicants must begin the process through TDI’s online fingerprint portal to receive the fingerprint service code and instructions. TDI also says most applicants must complete a fingerprint background check through IdentoGO.
Fingerprint appointment availability and processing can affect the timeline.
The application timeline
After passing the exam and completing fingerprints, the student applies online through Sircon.
TDI’s general licensing FAQ states that most applications are processed within one business day, and after review the applicant receives an email with the decision or a request for more information.
However, delays can happen if an application is incomplete, fingerprints are missing, or TDI needs more information.
How to avoid delays
Students can help avoid delays by:
Using the correct license application path
Completing fingerprints correctly
Keeping the fingerprint receipt
Applying through Sircon after passing the exam
Using the same legal name consistently
Responding quickly if TDI asks for more information
