How do I get a paper copy of my MA real estate salesperson license?

The requirements to apply for a Massachusetts salesperson license are as follows:
● Be at least 18 years of age
● Have a Social Security number or tax ID number
● Pass the 40-hour pre-license education course
● Obtain three character endorsements

You will need to visit PSI examination services online and download the Massachusetts Candidate Information Book. Inside the book you will find the application checklist and the application documents. Print, complete, and mail the application to PSI.

No, the Massachusetts Board of Real Estate Licensing does not have an online application process at this time. You will need to download, print, and complete the documents. Once you've done so, you will mail them to PSI Examination Services.

Your Massachusetts salesperson license exam application fee is $85. You must submit this to PSI.

In order for your application to be considered complete, you must include the following documentation:
● A current picture
● Pre-license education certificate form
● Three character endorsements
● CORI acknowledgement form

It is best to file your license application as soon as you have your three character endorsements. Your pre-license education completion certificate is good for two years, but you'll want to take the test while most of the information is still fresh in your mind.

If you have an inactive license, you cannot legally engage in any real estate brokerage activities. An active license means you can work as a real estate agent, perform real estate brokerage activities, and be compensated for work as a real estate professional.

You receive an active Massachusetts Real Estate salesperson license by meeting all of the licensing requirements. This includes completing the pre-license education, submitting a license application, passing the state's background check review, and passing the state licensing exam.

To reactivate your Massachusetts license, you must complete a license reactivation form that is found on the board of Licensing website under applications and forms. Complete the form and email it to the board. It takes 2 to 3 business days to process this request, and 4 to 6 weeks to receive your wallet license.

Check your license status at any time by visiting the license database. Any updates will happen within 24 to 48 hours of issuance.

You receive a printed wall license at the PSI Testing Center when you pass the state exam. Otherwise, you will need to contact the MA Board of Licensing to receive a copy of your salesperson license.
