Before
you begin the process:
-
Please
read these instructions in their entirety, first, before taking
action.
-
Effective
September 12, 2008, the FHA Connection stopped accepting "near"
matches in license numbers for automatic renewals. Read
more about the policy, or go to the instructions to review
and/or update
your information before renewing.
-
You
must be able to scan a copy of your current state-issued certification
into PDF format so that it can be uploaded into the FHA Connection.
If you do not have a scanner that creates PDF files, contact
a copy center. PDF is the only acceptable file format.
-
Review your personal information listed on the Appraisal Subcommittee's
National Registry:
-
Go to http://www.asc.gov,
click "National Registry" in the menu bar and
select "Standard query." Type in your name and
state.
-
Ensure that the field labeled "AQB Compliant" indicates
"Yes". If the field is blank or if the response is "unknown"
or "No", you are not eligible for placement on the FHA Appraiser
Roster. FHA requires that your appraisal credentials meet
or exceed the minimum criteria for a Certified General or
Certified Residential appraiser issued by the Appraiser
Qualifications Board (AQB) of the Appraisal Foundation.
You should contact your state appraiser regulatory agency
to determine how to become state certified and therefore,
AQB compliant.
-
Make
sure that the certification expiration date is accurate.
If the certification renewal number and expiration date
are updated, it is not necessary to submit a scanned copy
of the certification.
-
If
the expiration date is not accurate (current), this means
the state has not reported the information to the ASC yet.
The roster will not accept an update until your state provides
verification of the current state-issued certification to
ASC. For information on when the state will provide the
updated information to ASC, please contact your state appraiser
regulatory agency or check the state reporting listing on
the ASC website.
- Important:
Note the number shown in the "Lic. Number" field and the
certification "Type" so that you can enter the state-issued
number into FHA Connection exactly as it appears in the National
Registry. An inexact match will result in an error message
and you will not be able to proceed further with the application.
Enter exactly what the registry has even if it is different
from what is on the paper credential.
- After
verifying your information is current and correct on the National
Registry, you may need to wait one business day before
beginning the FHA online renewal to permit the National Registry
to convey data to the roster in the FHA Connection. If your
information needs to be corrected on the National Registry,
you must ask your state appraisal regulatory agency to resend
your information to the registry.
- You
must have your current FHA Connection user ID or you must establish
one.
- You
may verify that your automatic renewal is complete in the FHA
Connection or begin the renewal process now.
