LicensE is also available for some license renewals. The list of license renewals available via LicensE is in the chart on the LicensE Customer Information​ page.​

We are introducing a new LicensE Application Status Lookup ​tool. This tool will make it easier for employers to track the application status of current and future employees, and it will help academic advisors support students during the license application process. To access the Application Status Lookup tool, individuals will need an applicant's 10-digit PAR number. An applicant may provide the number to anyone who could support their application. For more information, see our press release.​

License Information

2017 Wisconsin Act 113 takes effect on July 1, 2018 (2017 Wis. Act 113).The final federal regulations became effective on August 10, 2015, meaning that an Appraisal Management Company cannot perform services related to a federally related transaction in Wisconsin after August 10, 2018, unless the AMC is licensed in Wisconsin.

An Appraisal Management Company (AMC) is required to obtain a license before performing appraisal management services for compensation, advertising as an appraisal management company, using the title "licensed appraisal management company", or other similar title; or holding itself out as an AMC. Requirements and procedures for applying for an AMC license are specified in Wis. Stat § 458.33 and noted in Form ​4216.​

Per Wis. Stat. § 440.08(2), the required renewal date for the AMC credential is 12/14 of each odd-numbered year. Should you receive your initial credential in the months leading up to this date, you are still required to renew your license by the statutorily defined date.

AMC Registry Fees must be paid to the Department annually in order to be eligible to be on the AMC Registry pursuant to 12 CFR § 1102.403. The registry fee form will be available soon, submit in January 2023 to report on the entire calendar year 2022.
