How do I receive an active AZ real estate license?
Once all the AZ salesperson application documents are submitted and the fee paid, the ADRE will mark the application as complete, and you will be approved on inactive status. To change it to active, you must be hired by an AZ real estate broker. They will access the ADRE online system to approve your hiring, changing your status to active.
