The Details
What you need

See Example below. The required hours for reinstatement must also include the most recent edition of a 7-hour National Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) Update Course. To obtain a Reinstatement Payment Form, you must remit all certificates of completion completed per the above requirements with this form for the Board to mail you a reinstatement payment form.

2018-2020

For the 5 missed cycles they will need to present 140 CE credits/hours (28*5)
