Pocket Cards Discontinued
Application forms to renew real estate licenses are scheduled to be mailed to licensees on May 11. Properly completed forms and fees must be received in the Commission Office by June 30 to avoid expiration of the license. Persons who continue to act as real estate brokers and salesmen after their licenses have expired are subject to criminal prosecution. And persons whose licenses have been expired for more than one year may be required to complete a real estate course (or courses) and pass the licensing examination in order to reinstate their licenses.
If you have not received your renewal application form by May 21, you should request another form from the Commission Office.
To streamline the renewal process and simplify the filing requirements for licensees, the Commission has adopted two changes in renewal procedures:
1. You will no longer be required to sign your renewal application (or the applications of your salesmen or corporation).
2. You will no longer receive a pocket renewal card. (Your license renewal sticker will evidence the renewal of your license).
Brokers-in-Charge are reminded that they are responsible for the proper display of the license certificates and renewal stickers of all real estate brokers and salesmen 'working in their offices (Commission Rule A..0110). brokers-in-Charge should inspect the wall licenses of all brokers and salesmen in their office by June 30 to assure that their licenses have been properly renewed. Failure to do so could result in disciplinary action by the Commission if it is determined that persons in their office have engaged in brokerage activities while their licenses were lapsed.
