How much is the NH real estate salesperson license application?

All salesperson applicants must include the original passing licensing exam score report. In addition, your answers to questions 1-6 in part four of the application may require you to submit additional documentation. Follow the instructions if this applies to you.

The New Hampshire Real Estate Commission gives you six months from passing the state licensing exam to submit your licensing application. Your application must be submitted while your criminal record report is valid. Time the submission of these so you do not delay your application approval.

New Hampshire does require you to work under the supervision of a state licensed real estate broker. You need to provide your supervising broker's information as part of the real estate application.

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

To change from an active to inactive real estate license, all you need to do is fill out a “De-activation of an Active License” form. Send it to the NHREC with your original wall license and pocket card.

You will automatically receive an active New Hampshire real estate salesperson license once you complete all of the licensing steps. So, you will need to take the pre-license course, pass the state exam, pass the criminal record check, and be hired by a New Hampshire broker.

When you’re ready to re-activate your license, you need the “Activation of an Inactive License” form. It must be signed by your principal broker, include a $20 amendment fee, and may need proof of your continuing education.

The key difference is a principal broker license enables you to operate as an independent business and to hire employees who will work under your supervision in the business of real estate. A salesperson must work under the supervision of a principal broker.

You can visit the New Hampshire online licensing license lookup portal to check on your application status.

Before you can apply for a New Hampshire salesperson license, you must be at least 18 years of age. You will need to take 40 hours of pre-licensing education, pass the state licensing exam, be hired by a licensed New Hampshire broker, and initiate your criminal record check.
