Home Inspection Certification Requirements by State

Requirements for home inspection work vary by state — some states license the trade, many don’t regulate it at all. This page explains how those requirements work and where a professional credential fits. The NISCR Home Inspection Certification is a professional credential that proves verified training in any state; where a license or federal credential is required, it complements — it does not replace — those requirements.
