(2) The terms registered real property appraiser, licensed residential real property appraiser, certified residential real property appraiser, certified general real property appraiser, and trainee real property appraiser may only be used to refer to a person who is credentialed as such under the Real Property Appraiser Act and may not be used following or immediately in connection with the name or signature of a corporation, partnership, limited liability company, firm, or group or in such manner that it might be interpreted as referring to a corporation, partnership, limited liability company, firm, or group or to anyone other than the credential holder. This requirement shall not be construed to prevent a credential holder from signing an appraisal report on behalf of a corporation, partnership, limited liability company, firm, or group if it is clear that only the individual holds the credential and that the corporation, partnership, limited liability company, firm, or group does not.
