Appointments
Section 626.112, Florida Statutes, states that no person may be, act as, or advertise or hold himself or herself out to be an insurance agent, insurance adjuster, customer representative, service representative, or managing general agent unless he or she is currently licensed by the department and appointed by an appropriate appointing entity or person. All licenses require an appointment with the exception of insurance agency licenses.
Additional information about appointments can be found under the "Agent and Adjuster General Licensing and Compliance" and "eAppoint and Appointments" FAQs.
