Section 193F.3.4. Application for certification.

Applicants for certification must successfully complete the appropriate examination.

         3.4(1) All initial applications for certification or associate registration shall be made on forms provided by the board. The board may deny an application as described in Iowa Code sections 543D.12 and 543D.17. Specific examples of grounds for denial include knowingly making a false statement, submitting false information, refusing to provide complete information in response to a question in an application for certification, or participating in any form of fraud or misrepresentation; the revocation of another professional license; or a conviction, including a conviction based upon a plea of guilty or nolo contendere, of a crime which is substantially related to the qualifications, functions and duties of a person developing real estate appraisals and communicating real estate appraisals to others. The board may also deny an application based on disciplinary action taken against an associate appraiser registration.

         3.4(2) A certificate or associate registration shall contain the applicant’s name, appraiser classification, Iowa certificate number and the signature of the board chairperson.

         3.4(3) An initial certificate shall not be issued until the applicant has demonstrated compliance with all required appraiser qualifications for certification, which include examination, education, a bachelor’s degree, and real property appraiser experience pursuant to Iowa Code section 543D.9 and 193F—Chapter 5 or 6.
