When should I file my PA license application?

You can only apply for your Pennsylvania real estate license after you have passed the state licensing exam.
However, before you apply for your license online using the PALS system, you should have all of the required documents in place in order to prevent any delays in the review process.
You should have all of the following documents before you apply for your license:
1) Copies of your two Certificates of Completion from the 75-hour pre-license course
2) A copy of your state examination pass report
3) Completed state police criminal record check
