When should I disclose any prior criminal activity to MS Commission?

It is possible to earn a salesperson license with a prior conviction, but some offenses, like those for dishonesty, or felony convictions within the last five years, will disqualify you from holding a license.

You are disqualified for: ● Convictions, or guilty or nolo contendere pleas, for a felony in a domestic or foreign court during the five years immediately preceding the date of the application. ● Any felonies at any time involving fraud, dishonesty, breach of trust, or money laundering.

The salesperson license application questions 13-14 will ask about your prior criminal history. Disclose these on the license application and provide supporting documents.

You will disclose the prior criminal history when you submit the license application to the Mississippi Real Estate Commission.
