(a)A person desiring to be certified or licensed as an appraiser, [or] approved as an appraiser trainee, or registered as a temporary non-resident appraiser shall file an application using forms prescribed by the Board. The Board may decline to accept for filing an application that [ which] is materially incomplete or that [which] is not accompanied by the appropriate fee. [Prior to submission of any application, an applicant shall submit the applicant's education for evaluation and approval along with the requisite education evaluation fee and must obtain a written response from the Board showing the applicant meets current education requirements for the applicable license or certification. Any such approval shall then remain valid for one year from the date of issuance.] Except as provided by the Act, the Board may not grant a certification, license or approval of trainee status to an applicant unless the applicant: (1)pays the required fees [requested by the board]; (2)satisfies any experience and education requirements established by the Act or by these sections; (3)successfully completes any qualifying examination prescribed by the board; (4)provides all supporting documentation or information requested by the board in connection with the application; (5)satisfies all unresolved enforcement matters and requirements with the board; and (6)meets any additional or superseding requirements established by the Appraisal Qualifications Board. (b)Prior to submitting an application, an applicant must submit a completed education evaluation request form along with the appropriate fee. If the Board determines that the applicant has met current education requirements for the applicable license or certification, it shall notify the applicant that his or her education has been approved. Any such approval shall then remain valid for one year from the date the Board received the education evaluation request. If the Board determines that the applicant has not completed all required education, the applicant has until one year from the date the Board received the request to meet all education requirements and submit an application for licensure or the education evaluation request will expire. If the education requirements change while the education evaluation request is pending, any evaluation issued by the Board after the new requirements take effect will be based on then-current requirements. If the education requirements change after the Board has notified the applicant that his or her education satisfies the Board's requirements but before the applicant submits an application, the applicant must meet any additional education requirements before the application will be processed.
