Before
you begin the process:
- Please read these instructions in their entirety, first, before taking
action.
- Read the eligibility
requirements.
- Applications
must be submitted online.
- If
you were previously on the roster at any time, you will not be able to apply again
as a "new" applicant. Your application will be rejected. You may qualify
for reinstatement.
- You
must be able to fill-in and print the application form HUD-92563 from FHA Connection
(FHAC), sign it, scan it and save it in PDF format. If you do not have a scanner
that creates PDF files, contact a copy center. Please be sure that you save all
three pages of the scanned and signed form into one file prior to uploading it.
PDF is the only acceptable file format.
-
In addition to the application, you must also have your current paper state-issued
certification scanned and saved in PDF format to upload in the required area of
FHAC.
-
Review your personal information listed on the Appraisal Subcommittee's National
Registry:
- Go
to the Appraisal Subcommittee's (ASC) website,
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 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 credentialed and therefore,
AQB compliant.
-
Important:
Note the number shown in the "Lic. Number" field and the certification "Type"
so that you can make sure you 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 application
to ensure that the National Registry information conveys 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.
- If
you have a problem entering your application and uploading your
files, please view the FHA
Roster Training Demo which will walk you through the process
using screen prints and a video. You may also visit the Help section
on the FHA Roster Appraisers home page linked below.
- Now
you may begin your application in FHA
Connection.
