There is no national rules for any type of insurance licensing. Licensing is handled by the State in which you live and plan to work. The regulations of the State will govern licensing requirements. The best place to start is the Department of Insurance for your state. For full disclosure, I own and operate a small Independent Insurance Agency in Georgia and have for the past 22 years. I also worked for a direct writer for the 3 years before that.

A claims job is employment wherein a claims adjuster investigates, evaluates and negotiates insurance claims (losses). The jobs are offered by insurance and independent adjusting companies. Most states have some licensing requirements and other qualifications to work as a claims adjuster. The state of Florida requires that an applicant qualify for the license by either taking the state licensing exam, or by completing a designation course such as the ACA (Accredited Claims Adjuster) Designation through the University of Central Florida. The designation excuses the applicant from the state test.
Loss history refers to the claims you have had in the past wether on that property or another.
If you want to pursue your career in selling insurance products or adjusting insurance claims, then you will need to take necessary exams to get licensed. Whether you are a graduate of a bachelor's degree that isn't related to insurance, you can still be an insurance agent or adjuster. Before you get licensed, you might take a preparatory course also known as insurance pre-licensing exam that will help you get ready for the actual licensing exam. But in some providers, they offer this preparatory course inside a licensing course package. Once you get prepared, you can now take an insurance licensing exam. After getting licensed then you are now required to take an insurance CE(Continuing Education) to retain your license and get updated with current trends and knowledge in insurance industry.
The amount needed to purchase a national auto insurance depends on a number of factors like make of the car, model, year of manufacture, the driving history and the length of driving experience as well as incidents and claims over the last 5 years and the number of drivers insured.
Claims don't expire. There is nothing to update. There are old claims and there are recent claims. Most Insurance companies only look back at 3 to 6 years of your claims history depending on the Insurers underwriting guidelines. Insurance companies typically charge points to your policy depending on the nature of the claim. Most weather related claims are nonchargeable.
Most insurance companies report claims to a national database. You would have to pay to get this information and it has to be about you. Though it's not considered to be public, you could get information on that report that is about someone else.
Claims history and driving record are the most important things in determining a renewel.
