LICENSE RENEWALS IN THE MAIL

On May 12, real estate license renewal forms were mailed to North Carolina's 73,000 real estate brokers, salesmen, and corporations. If you have not received your renewal application by June 1, you should contact the Real Estate Commission office..

To renew your license, simply check to see that your name, address and license number are correctly shown on the renewal application (strike through and correct any incorrect information on the form), and return the form and your S20 renewal fee check to the Commission in the return envelope provided. In addition, Brokers-In-Charge of real estate offices must verify that they are properly shown on the renewal application of each salesman working in their office, and Principal Brokers of real estate brokerage corporations must verify that they are properly shown on the renewal application of the corporation. For changes other than address, the Real Estate Commission will follow up and advise you as to any additional documentation which may be required in order to effect the change.

Upon receipt of your renewal application and fee, a "pocket card" will be promptly issued to you evidencing the renewal of your real estate license for the period July 1, 1987-June 30, 1988.

The "pocket card" replaces the "renewal sticker" which was previously used as proof of license renewal. (Licensees may feel free to remove their renewal stickers from their license certificates.)

All real estate licenses expire on June 30. Therefore, your properly completed renewal application and fee must be received in the Commission office by June 30 to avoid expiration of your license. Persons filing renewal applications which are received after June 30 must pay a t5 late filing fee. And persons who fail to renew their licenses within one year following expiration are required to file a new Application for Real Estate License (including photo, character reference, etc.) if they wish to have their licenses reinstated; in addition, those persons may be required to retake all real estate education and the licensing examination in order to have their licenses reinstated.
