I received the following revision request from an AMC:
Your state requires that all appraisals include your specific classification (licensed, certified residential or certified general). Please adhere to your state-specific requirements regarding what verbiage and/or abbreviations are acceptable.

I have never heard of this and skimmed through the administrative rules and didn't see it.

I'm not going to fight them about it, already made the revision, just curious.
 
So your licenses not indicate levels ? - In California-our license levels are defined by the first two letters before our license numbers : Example: AL=Residential License--AR=Certified Residential and AG= Certified General which is same as CG in other States.

(225 ILCS 458/) Real Estate Appraiser Licensing Act of 2002.


(225 ILCS 458/15-10)
(Section scheduled to be repealed on January 1, 2022)
Sec. 15-10. Grounds for disciplinary action.


(18) Failing to include within the certificate of
appraisal for all written appraisal reports the appraiser's license number and licensure title.

in Pa they want the wording 'Pa state certified residential r.e. appraiser' on the signature page. i am always amazed at home many appraisers don't do that here. i guess they don't read the state appraising rules book.

Yes, its indicated by the first three numbers in the license number. 553 general 556 cert res, They still require it.

Arkansas wants your professional stamp with your signature. I see a lot of reports without the stamp. I don't guess that is enforced. We had to buy the stamp and were limited to two places to buy...perks of being a solons buddy in the print business.
 
i dont have a problem with providing the information. i have now started to put it in the 'other (describe)' line of the signature page.

i find it strange that the rule is found in the section titled: Grounds for disciplinary action

this section has 27 rules with 26 of them pertaining to misconduct, dishonorable conduct, unprofessional conduct, false information, crime, fraud, reporting a predetermined estimate, and other type of unethical behavior.

buried in this section is rule 18 "...include within the certificate of appraisal for all written appraisal reports the appraiser's license number and licensure title."

just doesnt fit the theme of the section.
