Which entity maintains the official National Registry of state certified appraisers?

The Appraisal Subcommittee is responsible for maintaining the official National Registry of state certified appraisers. This entity operates under the auspices of the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council (FFIEC) and plays a critical role in ensuring that appraisers meet the required standards of competence and ethical behavior, which is essential for maintaining public trust in the appraisal process.

The National Registry serves as a comprehensive database that includes information about state-licensed and certified appraisers, helping to facilitate compliance with federal regulations governing appraisal practices. By providing access to this registry, the Appraisal Subcommittee aids both regulatory agencies and the public in verifying the qualifications of appraisers, ensuring that they are properly credentialed and can deliver consistent and reliable property valuations.

The other entities mentioned do not maintain the National Registry; their functions and focuses differ considerably from those of the Appraisal Subcommittee in the realm of appraisal oversight and certification.
