1. The board may require a national criminal history check through the federal bureau of investigation for applicants for certification or registration, or for persons certified or registered, under this chapter if needed for credibility, to comply with federal law or regulation, or the policies of the appraisal qualification board of the appraisal foundation. The board may alternatively require a national criminal history check through the nationwide mortgage licensing system and registry, as defined in section 535D.3, when conducting background investigations under this section, if authorized by applicable federal law or regulation.
2. The board may require applicants, certificate holders, or registrants to provide a full set of fingerprints, in a form and manner prescribed by the board.

3. The board may also request and obtain, notwithstanding section 692.2, subsection 5, criminal history data for applicants, certificate holders, and registrants. A request for criminal history data shall be submitted to the department of public safety, division of criminal investigation, pursuant to section 692.2, subsection 1.

5. The board may, in addition to any other fees, charge and collect such amounts as may be incurred by the board, the department of public safety, or federal bureau of investigation in obtaining criminal history information. Amounts collected shall be considered repayment receipts as defined in section 8.2, subsection 8.
