  (b) Whenever a licensee signs the licensed appraiser's name on an appraisal report or correspondence concerning an appraisal report, the licensed appraiser must include, with the licensed appraiser's signature, the words, "Indiana licensed trainee appraiser", "Indiana licensed residential appraiser", "Indiana certified residential appraiser", or "Indiana certified general appraiser", whichever is applicable, and the licensed appraiser's license number. This wording shall not be in letters larger than the licensed appraiser's name.

  (c) Whenever an individual licensed by a temporary permit signs an appraisal report or correspondence concerning an appraisal report, the temporary permit holder must include with the signature the words "Operating under Indiana Temporary Permit Number" followed by the temporary permit number. The temporary permit holder must also state the license type, license number, and state of issue of the appraisal license given on the temporary permit application.
