New Hampshire State law further mandates that any real estate appraisal service performed by an individual licensed or certified under this chapter shall be subject to the supervision of the board.

There are four levels of credential awarded by the State of New Hampshire:

• Apprentice - The apprentice real estate appraiser classification consists of those persons who do not meet the requirements for license or certification, but are in the process of completing the requirements for one of the classifications of a real estate appraiser. Apprentice real estate appraisers are required to work under the supervision of a New Hampshire licensed or certified appraiser until the requirements for licensure or certification have been met.
• Licensed Residential Appraiser Classification - A licensed residential appraiser may perform appraisals for any non-complex 1-4 residential properties with a transaction value less than $1 million; and complex 1-4 residential properties with a transaction value less than $250,000.
• Certified Residential Appraiser Classification - May appraise all 1-4 family residential properties without regard to value or complexity.
• Certified General Appraiser Classification - A certified general appraiser may perform appraisals for all real property without regard to transaction value or complexity.
