Non-Resident Appraiser 

  1. Application for Appraiser License, Form 3515 [pdf 2318k]
     
  2. Appraiser licenses are renewed in August of odd-numbered years.   The fee is $80 unless you are a resident of a state that charges a fee in excess of $80.  Fees are retaliatory under South Carolina Law.
      
    For example, the fee for Georgia residents is $100.  The fee for North Carolina residents is $150. These fees would apply in South Carolina.
     
  3. If unable to verify license status in the appraiser’s home state, certification from the applicant's resident Department of Insurance is required.  The certification must be legible and less than ninety (90) days old.  The certificate must show the applicant is licensed in his or her home state as an appraiser and that an appraiser examination has been passed. If the applicant's home state does not require an appraiser examination, then a certificate can be used from another state where the applicant is licensed and has taken and passed an adjuster examination.
     
    If the above cannot be provided, then the applicant will be required to pass South Carolina's appraiser examination. Registration for South Carolina's adjuster examination is done through Prometric.
