Massachusetts is one of few states with a dedicated Auto Damage Appraiser Licensing Board. Here's what appraisers need to know.
Massachusetts is one of the few states that requires a state-issued license for auto damage appraisers. The Massachusetts Auto Damage Appraiser Licensing Board, operating under the Division of Insurance, administers the licensing program. Appraisers working in Massachusetts must hold this state license to legally appraise auto damage for insurance purposes.
The licensing requirements include examination, background checks, and compliance with state regulations. Massachusetts takes auto appraisal regulation seriously — operating without a license is a violation of state law.
While the Massachusetts state license covers auto damage appraisal for insurance purposes, ASCAA certification adds significant additional value:
Massachusetts has a mature, regulated auto appraisal market with strong demand. The state's licensing requirement means fewer unqualified competitors, and ASCAA certification further distinguishes top professionals. Demand is strong in Boston, Worcester, Springfield, and across the state for both insurance-related and non-insurance appraisals.
