What a South Carolina license means for your claim

South Carolina requires vehicle appraisers to hold an active state credential before they can act in insurance appraisals. SecondAppraisal maintains the required South Carolina licensure, so when you invoke your policy's appraisal clause we can represent you the way South Carolina law expects — and you can verify our credential directly with the state.
