A.R.S. § 32-3617: Nonresident Appraiser License
Nonresident temporary licensure or certification
Can an out-of-state appraiser get a temporary license to work in Arizona?
In Arizona, a nonresident appraiser applying for nonresident temporary licensure or certification must submit an irrevocable consent that service of process may be made by delivery to the secretary of state if the plaintiff cannot personally serve the applicant. A nonresident who is licensed or certified in another state is entitled to nonresident temporary licensure or certification by the deputy director, valid until an appraisal assignment is complete but not for more than one year, if the appraiser's business here is temporary, the appraiser applies on forms the deputy director prescribes, and the appraiser pays the required fee.
