How do I reinstate an expired AZ real estate license?

You must renew your license every two years. During that time, you must complete 24 hours of continuing education. Initiate your license renewal through the ADRE online portal. An online renewal costs $60.

A renewal application submitted online will cost $60. A late application submitted online, an on-time application done in-office, and an application sent through the mail costs $125.

Your Arizona real estate salesperson's license is active for two years. You will have to apply for renewal at the end of those two years. The Arizona Department of Real Estate will email you 90-, 60-, and 30-day courtesy renewal reminders to the email address on record.

Salesperson licenses are required to take 24 hours of ADRE-approved continuing education courses before their two-year renewal date. You must have 3 hours each in agency law, contract law, commissioner’s standards, disclosure, fair housing, and real estate legal issues. You also need six hours in elective categories.

You must visit the ADRE portal to renew your inactive license. Inactive license holders are required to maintain their continuing education requirements. You must show proof you have met the 24-hours of CE in the two-year license cycle.

You can renew your license as soon as you receive your 90-day courtesy notice. Do not delay in submitting your renewal to avoid any complications.

If you are late renewing your Arizona salesperson's license, you have a one-year grace period to input your continuing education requirements and pay your renewal fee. You will need to pay a late fee. Please note that this grace period does not extend your original renewal date.

In Arizona, the only difference between an inactive and active license is that an active license holder is someone hired by an Arizona licensed real estate broker. If you would like to have an active license, you must be hired and submit proof you met the continuing education requirements.
