d. Renewal and Maintenance (12/23/2025)
FHA Appraiser Roster credential records in FHA Connection (FHAC) are automatically validated with the Appraisal Subcommittee’s (ASC) National Registry records and may be updated only when ASC records match the renewal expiration date. Failure of the Appraiser to renew in a timely manner may result in the Appraiser becoming ineligible in the state until the renewed licensing information is validated with the ASC National Registry. Appraisers are expected to confirm their renewals have been reported to ASC and updated in the FHA Appraiser Roster. The Appraiser’s name in FHAC must match the ASC National Registry exactly to facilitate automated updates.
FHA will invalidate a state credential in FHAC 30 Days past the expiration date in the ASC National Registry. During this period, Appraisers may continue performing FHA assignments only when they have a valid renewal issued from the state with a credential expiration date after the effective date of the appraisal. Any appraisals performed beyond 30 Days from the state license expiration date in FHAC will receive an unsuccessful submission status in the Electronic Appraisal Delivery (EAD) portal.
An inactive Appraiser account may be placed in an archived, read-only status when all of the credentials have expired for at least six months. Appraisers may request reactivation when they have at least one valid state-issued credential by emailing the FHA Resource Center at answers@hud.gov with the following subject line: FHA Roster Appraiser Credential Renewal.
