Transfer a license from another state

Arkansas statutes provide for the transfer of appraisers who move to Arkansas and are currently certified or licensed in other jurisdictions, provided the appraiser is coming from a State (Home State) that is “in compliance” with Title XI as determined by the Appraisal Subcommittee; the appraiser holds a valid credential from his or her Home State; the applicant’s background meets AALCB qualifications, and the Home State is deemed to have substantially equivalent licensing and certification requirements.

Please mail documents to AALCB, 900 W Capitol Ave, Suite 400, Little Rock AR 72201. If any of the required items are missing from an application upon receipt by AALCB, the application will be returned.
