HAR §16-114-72. Use of terms

(a) The terms "state licensed appraiser," "certified general appraiser," "certified residential appraiser," or "state certified appraiser" may only be used to refer to an individual who is licensed or 114-29 §16-114-72 certified, as the case may be, under chapter 466K, HRS, and this chapter and may not be used following, or immediately in connection with, the name or signature of a corporation, partnership, association, or any other group practice, or in any manner that might be interpreted as referring to anyone other than the individual who is licensed or certified under chapter 466K, HRS, and this chapter. (b) This requirement shall not be construed to prevent a licensee or certificate holder from signing an appraisal report on behalf of a corporation, partnership, association, or any other group practice if it is clear that only the individual is licensed or certified and the corporation, partnership, association, or group practice is not. (c) No person may assume or use the title "state licensed appraiser," "certified general appraiser," "certified residential appraiser," or "state certified appraiser," as the case may be, or any title designation or abbreviation likely to create the impression of licensure or certification unless that person holds a current license or certificate under chapter 466K, HRS, and this chapter.
