Ok. It was too long to put the entire regualtion in the post but the parts that pertain to AMCs is there.
If you ask "are your registered" or talk about fees you MAY not get the order. It is better if you accept the assignment and then just before you send the completed appraisal off say....OH Yeah! Did you know........
 
This was so interesting. After the AI luncheon when the state appraisal officer mentioned this, I went to the state website to see how many AMC's had "registered" with the state... There were only 2.
I shared this info with a colleague and she told a client that she had to report her fee and the AMC fee in the report and they went BALLISTIC! (PCV MURCOR)
