RECIPROCITY
The Oklahoma Real Estate Appraiser Board has reciprocity agreements in place with several states. These reciprocal agreements are effective only for Certified General and Certified Residential real estate appraisers. The applicant must be a bona-fide resident of the state with which the reciprocity agreement is in place.
You will notice that each of these forms contain a statement which you are signing under oath indicating that your have read and will comply with all provisions of the Oklahoma Real Estate Appraisers Act. You should download this document, as well as the administrative rules, and read them before signing the application.
Please take note: Oklahoma issues certificates for a three-year period. However, licensing and registry fees are collected on an annual basis. Statements are mailed at least six weeks prior to the due date. Failure to remit these fees, or in the alternative, surrender your certificate, will result in disciplinary action against your credential. This disciplinary action will be reported to the ASC National Registry.
Reciprocal licensure requires that the appraiser complete the appropriate application (to include the consent to service of process), attach an original licensure history from the state of residence and a check in the amount of $325.00 and forward these to:

TEMPORARY PRACTICE PERMIT
Any appraisal of real property located within the territorial boundaries of Oklahoma requires Oklahoma licensure or a temporary practice permit if:
- The appraisal involves a federally related transaction;
- The appraisal is related to a real estate-related financial transaction of one of the agencies, instrumentalities, and federally recognized entities covered by the FIRREA Act of 1989; or
- The appraisal involves any real estate-related transaction where an appraisal report was made under a written agreement that the appraisal report would comply with USPAP or where a written appraisal states that it is in compliance with USPAP.
The Oklahoma Real Estate Appraiser Board recognizes, on a temporary basis, the certification or license of an appraiser issued by another state if:
- The appraiser’s business is of a temporary nature and certified by the appraiser;
- The appraiser registers the temporary practice with the Board and pays fees as provided herein; and
- The appraiser resides in or is working out of a state that is also in compliance with 12 USC 3351, which recognizes, on a temporary basis, the certification or license of an Oklahoma appraiser in their state.
The application fee for a temporary practice permit is $50.00 per appraisal report rendered, up to a maximum of $150.00 per appraisal assignment of one or more appraisals performed under a single contract. A temporary practice permit is issued on the basis of assignment, and there is no associated end date on the permit other than completion of the assignment.
Appraisers desiring a temporary practice permit for an assignment in Oklahoma may apply by using the form that may be downloaded here: Temporary Practice Permit. A licensure history or letter of good standing need not be submitted with the application. Temporary Practice Permits cannot be returned by overnight mail unless a completed, pre-paid envelope is remitted with the application.
