Can I get my AZ license if I have a prior conviction?
Having a prior conviction does not necessarily disqualify you from receiving an Arizona salesperson’s license. However, The Arizona Department of Real Estate will not issue a license to any person who is currently incarcerated, paroled, or on probation. ADRE will also not issue licenses to anyone who has been convicted of a felony or misdemeanor offense such as theft, forgery, extortion, violence against another person, or crimes of moral turpitude.
