Hawaii Appraisal License Renewal

How to Renew Your Hawaii Appraisal License 

Here are the general steps to renew your Hawaii appraisal license. The following information is based on the minimum requirements set forth by the Hawaii Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs (DCCA). 

Step 1: Know Your Renewal Deadlines  

Hawaii real estate appraiser licenses expire on December 31 of every odd-numbered year, regardless of the date of issuance. You must renew your license every 2 years thereafter. 

Step 2: Complete CE Requirements  

Hawaii real estate appraisers must complete 28 hours of state-approved continuing education every 2 years, including: 

• 7-Hour National USPAP Update Course 
• 21 hours of state-approved CE course electives 

Please note: The 15-hour USPAP course cannot be used to fulfill the 7-hour USPAP Update continuing education requirement. 

Attention initial licensees: If your new license was issued during an even-numbered year, you will need to complete 28 hours of continuing education before your license expires. If your initial license was issued between January 1 and June 30 of an odd-numbered year, you must complete 14 hours of CE. If your new license was issued after June 30 of an odd-numbered year, you do not need to complete any CE for that cycle. 

Step 3: Apply for Renewal  

You will receive a hardcopy renewal application form by mail in early November. If you need to update your mailing address on file with the DCCA, email them with the correct address at [email protected].  

Submit your renewal application, fee, and hardcopy CE course completion certificates by mail to the Hawaii DCCA. Please note there is no online renewal process available for appraisers in Hawaii. 

Important: Verify all CE requirements with the Hawaii Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs. If you hold appraisal licenses in multiple states, be sure to check each state’s requirements.
