Welcome to the Office of Real Estate Appraisers of the State of California

Forms

Note: For each license application type, three or more forms are required. We've prepared a list of the forms by application type, so you can make sure you've got them all.

LiveScan Fingerprinting

OREA processes applicant fingerprints via Live Scan for California residents. However, in lieu of fingerprinting applicants prior to the application review, we will now request fingerprints at the time the applicant is approved for the examination. Therefore, please submit your application for a real estate appraiser license without completing the fingerprinting process. Please note, if you are applying for a California license, but are located out of state, your fingerprints should be submitted on two (2) FD-258 fingerprint cards with your application.

Note: The Department of Justice no longer accepts fingerprints submitted on the BID-7 fingerprint cards from OREA applicants.

OREA's pdf forms now have fields into which you can enter your data using the free Adobe Acrobat Reader. This form can then be printed, but the data is not saved when the document is closed unless you have the full Adobe Acrobat or Acrobat Business Tools software.
