Before You Begin the Renewal Process:

1. You must have an FHA Connection user ID.
2. You must have access to a scanner.
3. You must have a copy of your current license or certification available to be scanned and uploaded into FHA Connection.
4. 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 to remain 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 listed on the National Registry is accurate. 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 license or certification to ASC. For information on when the state will provide the updated information to ASC, please contact your state appraiser regulatory agency.
   • 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.
