Prerequisites:

  • The minimum age requirement is 18 years old.
  • You must have a GED or high school diploma.

 

1. Complete 80 hours of a New Hampshire-Approved Home Inspection Course

The New Hampshire Office of Professional Licensure and Certification requires a license to work as a home inspector, and choosing the right training will set you apart and help you build your brand.

2. Pass the National Home Inspector Exam

After completing your home inspector education, the next step is to register for (and pass) the National Home Inspector Exam. This exam consists of 200 multiple choice questions (25 of which are not scored). Test takers are given 4 hours to complete the exam, and each attempt costs roughly $225 (depending on your location). This test is known to be difficult, so consider enrolling in an Exam Prep study program.

3. Provide Proof of Liability Insurance Coverage

Making mistakes is a part of human nature, and it happens to the best of us. To protect yourself and your livelihood from career-ending lawsuits, taking out a general liability insurance policy is a must for all home inspection professionals. Although liability insurance is required in New Hampshire, there is no specified policy amount.

4. Complete a Notarized State Background Check

New Hampshire home inspectors are required to submit a $25 fee and criminal record release authorization form to the NH Division of State Police.

5. Pay $200 Application Fee & Submit Your New Hampshire Home Inspector License Application

Once you’ve completed your 80-Hr. New Hampshire home inspector course and passed the NHIE, you can apply for your license. Please note that there’s a $200 application fee you’ll need to pay to submit your application.
