Bulletin 2000 V31-1
Commission implements procedure for license renewal via the Internet
Renewing your real estate license just got easier. New procedure makes license renewal only a "computer click" away.
By Mary Frances Whitley, Director of Administration
The Commission has finalized the procedure for Internet license renewal. Now you have the choice of mailing or delivering your renewal application and payment to the Commission office, or renewing online.
License renewal application forms are scheduled to be mailed May 12. You may renew your license for 2000 - 2001 by returning the form and your $30 fee prior to June 30, 2000, provided they are received in the Commission office by the deadline date. However, if you wish to renew via the Internet, you may charge your renewal fee to your Visa or MasterCard. (Please be advised that a $2 "convenience fee" - to help defray budget impact of handling credit card transactions - will be charged to each licensee who renews by this new method.) Internet license renewal is available at the Commission's website, www.ncrec.state.nc.us, by selecting the "Licensee Only" icon.
The first time you access the system, you will be requested to enter your license number and social security number for verification. You may, at this point, select a PIN (Personal Identification Number) for yourself. (After assigning your PIN, future access will require only that you enter your license number and PIN.)
This Internet link allows you to update certain information (residence address, fax number, e-mail address) in your licensee record and to check your continuing education credits. Please allow 24 - 48 hours for the Commission's records to reflect your renewal and any record changes.
At any time throughout the year, not just during the renewal period, you may access the system and update your records and/or check your CE credits.
The Commission's main objective in implementing the Internet renewal procedure is to offer licensees a more convenient method of license renewal.
