When to disclose any prior criminal activity to the IL Commission?

The IDFPR says that more than 95% of applicants in the real estate profession with a prior conviction who accurately completed their application disclosing the conviction obtained a license.

The IDFPR will more closely consider any convictions related to conspiracy to defraud, embezzlement, extortion, forgery, larceny, obtaining money under false pretenses, or a felony involving moral turpitude. It may also consider misdemeanors involving dishonesty or fraud.

You should fully and honestly disclose any prior criminal activity when you make your application for your broker license. There is a screening form I will ask about your criminal history and for any supporting documentation to be uploaded.

Disclose your prior criminal activity to the IREC when you make your broker license application. Make sure you upload any additional information. The IREC may contact you to request additional information or to ask to discuss your prior conviction.
