    B.  Unless denied licensure pursuant to Section 6220 of this title, a nonresident applicant shall receive a nonresident adjuster license if:

    2.  The applicant is currently licensed and in good standing in the home state of the applicant;

    3.  The applicant has submitted the proper request for licensure and has paid the fees required by Section 6212 of this title; and

    4.  The applicant’s home state awards nonresident adjuster licenses to residents of this state on the same basis.
