Understanding Appraiser License Types
Federal regulations under FIRREA establish four categories of appraiser credentials. Each determines what property types and values an appraiser can evaluate.
Appraiser Trainee
Entry-level credential for appraisers gaining experience under the direct supervision of a Certified appraiser. Trainees cannot sign appraisal reports independently. Requirements vary by state but typically include education coursework and supervised hours.
Licensed Residential
Can appraise non-complex 1-4 unit residential properties with a transaction value up to $1,000,000, and complex 1-4 unit residential properties up to $400,000. Cannot appraise commercial or land over certain thresholds.
Certified Residential
Can appraise any 1-4 unit residential property regardless of value or complexity. This is the most common credential for appraisers working residential mortgage lending. Requires more education and experience hours than Licensed Residential.
Certified General
Can appraise all property types including commercial, industrial, agricultural, and vacant land with no value limit. Required for any federally related transaction involving non-residential property or residential property over certain thresholds. Highest credential level.
Frequently Asked Questions
The registry data is refreshed every morning at approximately 6 AM UTC (1-2 AM Eastern). Our automated pipeline downloads all records from the official ASC.gov SOAP API, detects changes, and updates our database within minutes.
Yes. We pull directly from the ASC's official public SOAP API (the same data source that powers the ASC.gov website). Our database is a mirror that is synchronized daily. We do not modify, filter, or editorialize the data in any way.
An Active (A) status means the appraiser currently holds a valid credential to perform appraisals in that state. Inactive (I) means the license has expired, been surrendered, been revoked, or is otherwise not in good standing. Inactive records remain in the registry for historical reference.
There are four federal license categories: Appraiser Trainee (working under a supervisor), Licensed Residential (can appraise non-complex 1-4 unit residential properties up to $1M), Certified Residential (can appraise any 1-4 unit residential property regardless of value), and Certified General (can appraise all property types including commercial, industrial, and agricultural).
Absolutely. Enter the appraiser's name or license number to confirm their license is Active, verify their license type matches the assignment (e.g., Certified General for commercial properties), and check their state credential. For federally related transactions, FIRREA requires the appraiser to hold an appropriate state credential.
Appraisers can hold credentials in multiple states. Each state issues its own license, so an appraiser licensed in both Texas and Oklahoma will have two separate records, one per state, each with its own license number, status, and expiration date.
After you subscribe and confirm your email, you'll receive a daily email digest whenever there are changes in your selected states. The digest includes new licenses issued, status changes (Active to Inactive or vice versa), and removed/expired licenses. You can manage your state selections or unsubscribe at any time.
