It’s Time to Renew Your License; Online is Faster, Easier and Free

 

Make this note at the very top of your to-do list: Renew your real estate license now!

And, better yet, get it done faster, easier and at no extra cost by renewing online at the Commission’s website, www.ncrec.state.nc.us. You can check your continuing education credits at the same time, an especially good idea if you have completed a course or courses in the past two or three weeks because those recent credits may not appear on the mailing label on this issue of the Bulletin.

Forms Mailed May 15

Renewal forms are in the mail as of May 15 to the delivery address on record for you. If active, that address will be that of your broker-in-charge. If inactive, it will be your residence address. You can verify your address online and make changes to your residence and email addresses and fax number, if needed.

The renewal fee for the 2004-05 year is $40, the same as last year and the same whether paid by check or online.

Your renewal online is verified by a confirmation notice that you should print and save in case proof is needed that you completed the payment process before receiving your pocket renewal card. The confirmation notice eliminates any doubts about whether the Commission has received your renewal and before the deadline of midnight, June 30.

Reinstate a License

Reinstatement of a license that has been expired for more than six months (i.e., after December 31) requires submission of a new application form with a criminal record report. In addition, salespersons must take the pre-license fundamentals course or the license examination and brokers must take the pre-license broker course or the license examination.

If the period of expiration is less than six months (i.e., before December 31), the only requirement is payment of a $55 reinstatement fee.
