S.C. Code Ann. § 38-91-100: Adjusters; biennial license renewal; reinstatement; waivers.

(A) An adjuster license continues on a biennial basis unless revoked, terminated, suspended, or denied renewal or reinstatement provided the fee set forth in Section 38-91-20 has been paid and the requirements for license renewal are met by August thirty-first of each odd-numbered year.

(B) Every licensed adjuster must file a biennial application for renewal of his license in accordance with the requirements of this chapter.

(C) All continuing education requirements pursuant to Section 38-91-90 must be completed prior to the applicant submitting a biennial application for renewal.

(D) A licensed adjuster who allows his license to lapse or expire may, within twelve months from the expiration date of the license, reinstate the same license upon proof of fulfilling all continuing education requirements as applicable, through the date of reinstatement and upon payment of all fees due. If the license has lapsed for more than twelve months, the applicant must fulfill the requirements for issuance of a new license.

(E) If the license is to be reinstated, a renewal application must be filed and a reinstatement fee equal to the biennial license fee unpaid must be paid in addition to the regular biennial license fee.

(F) A licensed adjuster who is unable to comply with license renewal procedures due to active military service, long-term medical disability, or other extenuating circumstances, may request a waiver of any continuing education requirement, fine, or other penalty imposed for failure to comply with renewal procedures.
