How to Use this Section
The National Registry is a database containing selected
information about the Nation's State certified and licensed real estate
appraisers. The National Registry does NOT contain information on ALL
appraisers. It only contains information about appraisers who currently
are, or have been, certified or licensed by a U.S. State, Territory or
possession to perform appraisals in connection with Federally-related
real estate transactions. Only State certified or licensed appraisers
who are listed on this National Registry as having currently valid
certifications or licenses are authorized under Federal law to perform
appraisals in connection with federally related transactions. Note that
expiration dates on actual certificates or licensing documents may
differ from expiration dates listed in the National Registry. National
Registry expiration dates specifically relate to the legal authority of
certified or licensed appraisers to perform appraisals in connection
with federally related transactions.
State appraiser regulatory agencies submit appraiser information to the
ASC at least monthly. This information keeps the National Registry
current. We accept appraiser information ONLY from these State
agencies. No one else can submit information for inclusion in the
National Registry. While we believe the information is generally
reliable, we have not independently verified each item's accuracy. If
you have a question about an item, we suggest that you contact the
relevant State agency. Select these links to go to
State agency Web sites and E-mail and U.S.
Mail addresses and telephone numbers.
You may search the National Registry database in two ways. First, you
can select a pre-defined "standard query." These queries search the
database to return the most commonly requested information. You also
can choose to custom design a query to search for specific information
not returned by the standard queries. In general, unless you are an
ASC-authorized State appraiser regulatory agency official, you will not
be able to access information regarding National Registry Numbers and
disciplinary actions other than revocations, suspensions, and voluntary
surrenders in lieu of disciplinary action.
To receive automated email notifications about the status (active or
expired) and disciplinary actions (revocations, suspensions, and
surrenders) regarding appraisers on the National Registry, click here.
Also, the "License History" tab at the top of the screen is available
only to authorized State appraiser regulatory agency officials.
