Important Mississippi Insurance License Update

The Governor has proclaimed a State of Emergency exists in the Counties of Forrest, Lamar, Perry, Marion, Jones and other parts of the state that have been affected by severe thunderstorms and tornados beginning January 21, 2017. Adjusters may apply for the Emergency Adjuster license at www.sircon.com, www.nipr.com or by US postal mail. An endorsement is required for this license type.
