What is Certification vs. Licensing?<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

A Certification verifies that a professional has met a certain set of criteria for a skill or job as measured by a third-party assessment, usually a non-government body like a Trade Association.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

For Home Inspectors, there are 2 national trade associations offering Certifications: ASHI (American Society of Home Inspectors) and NACHI (National Association of Certified Home Inspectors). They provide Standards of Practice for conducting Home Inspections and a Code of Ethics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A License is verification by a government agency that a professional can perform a particular occupation in a particular location, such as a certain State.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Which states do not require a home inspection license to perform home inspections?<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

14 states do not require a license to perform home inspections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They are California, Colorado, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Iowa, Kansas, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, Utah, Wyoming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why worry?<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Excerpt from the Hawaii State Auditor\u2019s Report No. 19-09 dated March 2019:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAlthough certification programs are offered to home inspectors in Hawaii, we found indications that there are an undetermined number of non-certified individuals who are conducting home inspections in the State.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, in order to prevent this problem, view the list of active members in ASHI and NACHI as of October 2023.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
