« Members of the AIBQ having the title of certified inspector, inspector and the candidate members having successfully completed the AIBQ exams wishing to use the title of candidate members of the AIBQ undertake, at their accession to the AIBQ, to hold an insurance policy (errors and omissions) and to maintain this coverage or be subject to the suspension and revocation of all AIBQ membership privileges.»

However, the AIBQ cannot guaranty that its members meet their obligations to maintain valid insurance coverage for errors and omissions and recommends that every client who conducts business with one of its members verify that the chosen inspector has the proper insurance coverage. The AIBQ cannot be held responsible if one of its members defaults on obtaining or maintaining valid insurance coverage. Keeping with the same train of thought, the AIBQ is not authorized to disclose the name of the insurer of its members to the public. However, the AIBQ recommends that if this information is required by the buyer, he or she should contact the member directly prior to hiring.

A regular candidate member is registered as «Candidate Member», but has not yet passed the AIBQ exams. As a «Candidate Member», he/she agrees to do so within 18 month following acession. The regular candidate member may not introduce himself/herself as an AIBQ member or use the title of «Candidate Member».
 
The practicing candidate member is a candidate member who has successfully passed the AIBQ exams but has not yet completed all the necessary steps in obtaning the title of «Inspector». The practicing candidate member may, if he/she has obtained the required insurance coverage for errors and omissions, use the title of «Candidate Member for Building and Property Inspector».
