			 determine whether the applicant has sufficient education and experience and is
			 otherwise qualified to sit for the examination;
(4) An applicant who is not a resident of the
			 State of Oregon must submit with the application, an irrevocable consent to
			 service form appointing the Administrator of the Board as agent for service of
			 process as provided in these rules, if, in an action against the applicant in a

			 request a license history from the applicant's resident state indicating
			 applicant is currently in good standing. This verification must be submitted
			 directly to the Board office by the applicant's resident state licensing
			 authority. The license history must be received by the board within thirty (30)

			 licensed or certified or the application will be denied.

			 shall be issued and outstanding to, or in favor of, any appraiser at one
			 time.

			 written request to withdraw their application at any time prior to an official
