Congratulations! Immediately after passing your state license exam, you will be fingerprinted at the exam center. The fingerprints are used in a state and national background check.
While Oregon processes your background check and fingerprints, find a Principal Broker to work under. You have one year to be hired and activated. Track your broker license application online. Once your application and background check are approved, your Principal Broker will add you to their business license and activate your license.
