    Presently I am located in Atlanta Georgia for over 19 years. Georgia License Insurance claims adjuster, Texas All lines and multi non-resident Lic. Planning on moving to Tennessee the first of the year. Tennessee doesn't have / require a license but my resident license will now become a non-resident after  90 or 30 days I won't have a resident Lic.  Can anyone tell me what to do to make sure I don't lose any thing after all these years.

    If it's worth the cost, try finding a private mail place still in Georgia and pay them to resend your mail to your new location. This will keep you a sort of 'resident' of Georgia for purposes of the licence. Check and see if this is worth it, and can be pulled off.

    As someone pointed out to others who have done this to obtain resident licenses in other states, this would be in violation of the resident status and therefore be in violation of the requirements that are set forth. This could possibly result in loss of license if not your integrity.

    I am sure that you can retain your license now as a non-resident as long as you notify them of your relocation and current address once you have found a place.

    Since Tennessee has no state income tax and Georgia does, I don't think it makes any sense to maintain a fiction of still living in Georgia. Aside from any ethical considerations, it would cost you a great deal of money if most of your work is in other states like Florida or Texas that also do not have state income tax.

    Most Departments of Insurance have regulations addressing the licenture of adjusters from states where no license is required. You would also need to address this on your resume - that your home state does not offer or require a license. Your Texas non-resident license will allow you to get a license in reciprocal states like Georgia. You will likely not have to take any test to transfer your resident license to a non-resident license. I lived in Pennsylvania, a state which does not offer or require a license, for many years and experienced no problem. I now live in California, which is not reciprocal with any other state and only requires that the company you work for has a license, and there is no problem with my non-resident Texas and Florida licenses remaining in force.

    I thank everyone so much for thier input in this matter. I just don't want to lose what I have worked for. I plan on staying active as a independent insurance adjuster after I move. So I am trying to cover  all the bases before the first of the year. I think I will give the Georgia insurance department a call to see what they have to say about the matter. When I get a answer from them I will post thier comments on the matter. Thanks again.
