If you have a certification do you have to get licensed in appraisals?

Yes, obtaining a certification in appraisals does not automatically grant you a license to practice. In most jurisdictions, you must also meet specific licensing requirements, which typically include completing a certain number of hours of education, gaining practical experience, and passing a licensing exam. The certification may enhance your qualifications, but licensing is necessary to legally perform appraisals. Always check local regulations to understand the specific requirements in your area.
