Can I get my Arkansas salesperson license if I have a prior conviction

The Arkansas Real Estate Commission will not approve licenses to individuals who have been convicted of a felony under § 17-3-102 or a crime involving violence, fraud, dishonesty, untruthfulness, or untrustworthiness.

You are disqualified from an Arkansas salesperson license if you have been convicted or pleaded guilty or Nolo contendere to a felony or you have been convicted or pleaded guilty to a crime involving violence, fraud, dishonesty, untruthfulness, or untrustworthiness.

The Arkansas real estate salesperson application will ask about your prior criminal history. Since you turn in this application after you finish your pre-license course, this will be the time that you disclose any prior criminal activity.
