Before You Begin the Application Process:

1. You must have access to a scanner. You will be prompted during the application process to print, sign and scan a copy of form HUD-92563 to be uploaded into FHA Connection. Your entries into FHA Connection will pre-populate this form before you print it. Please be sure that you sign the form in Box 22 and save all three pages of the scanned form into one file prior to uploading it. The preferred format is pdf.

2. You must have a copy of your current license or certification available to be scanned and uploaded into FHA Connection.

3. Review your personal information listed on the Appraisal Subcommittee's National Registry by going to http://www.asc.gov/.

   • Once at the main web page, click on the link for the National Registry and select standard query and then search by your name and state.

   • Review the results of the search and 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 licensing/certification criteria issued by the Appraiser Qualifications Board (AQB) of the Appraisal Foundation. You may contact your state appraiser regulatory agency to determine how to become AQB compliant.

   • Make sure that the license or certification expiration date is accurate.

   • Important: Note the number shown in the field labeled "Lic. Number" and make sure you enter your state issued appraisal license or certification number in 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.

Now you may begin your application in FHA Connection.
