What procedure should an appraiser follow if his/her license expires?
Most licenses and certifications are renewed automatically if certain other information in the roster matches the National Registry and the overnight update from the Registry to FHA has occurred. If the information is not correct in the National Registry, it will not be correct in the roster. The information must be an exact match and you must have your state regulatory agency send an update to the National Registry. To be reinstated, you must comply with all eligibility requirements and request a reinstatement. If you are eligible, request a reinstatement by emailing a PDF copy of your state certification to AppraiserRoster@hud.gov with “Reinstatement Request” in the subject line. FHA will process your request within 10 business days of receiving your email. Effective October 1, 2008, if you are a licensed vs. state-certified appraiser you will not be reinstated.
