How to Renew Your License
The secure eLicensing online system offers expedited processing of sales person and broker license renewals any time or day of the week. eLicensing is easy to use, paperless and interactive. Licensees enter information needed for license renewal into eLicensing, including the course number and completion date of continuing education courses taken. Continuing education requirements must be completely satisfied in order to renew through eLicensing. Acceptable methods of payment include VISA, MasterCard, and American Express credit cards or debit cards bearing a VISA or MasterCard logo.
Note: The eLicensing system may NOT be used to renew Corporation Officer Licenses.
On time Renewals:
You may use eLicensing or submit your renewal application 90 days prior to your license expiration date. Your renewal is on time if your eLicensing transaction is completed or your application is postmarked before midnight on your license expiration date. If you renew on time, Business and Professions Code Section 10156.2 permits you to continue operating under your existing license after its expiration date unless notified otherwise by the DRE.
Late Renewals:
If you fail to renew your license on time (prior to your expiration date) you may renew your license during the two year late renewal period immediately following your license expiration date. However, you cannot perform activities requiring a real estate license until your license has been renewed.
