RETURNING STUDENTS  

Do you need to verify IACP certification status on an individual before entrusting them with a certified auto appraisal?

This feature allows you to verify current status of certification for an individual certified by the Bureau of Certified Auto Appraisers - IACP. You need to know their full name in order to perform the search.

Alternatively, you may enter the certification number below. This number can be found on the wall certificate produced by the appraiser. The search will return the certification number, a name, current status and an expiration date for that individual.

BOCAA strives to maintain accurate, reliable, and current information on certification. However, inadvertent mistakes may exist in our database. If you discover an apparent mistake or discrepancy, please contact the Independent Appraisers Certification Program department immediately at 1-877-424-8560.

WARNING!

The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Requires IACP Certification for IRS Form 8283 Non-Cash Tax Donations of vehicles valued over $5,000.00.

For IRS-8283 Form, the appraiser must be certified through BOCAA and be IACP Certified at time of gift in order to fulfill this requirement. Should your appraiser not be IACP Certified, your tax donation may be initially denied and you may be subject up to a 5 year Tax Fraud Audit by your local IRS officer.

 

Search by first name, last name or IACP certification number.

BOCAA strongly suggests that the certification identity be verified with a government issued photo identification card, such as a driver's license.
