What if I still need Continuing Education (CE) prior to renewal?

If you still need CE hours and are concerned about finding the CE courses required to renew your license due to the lack of classroom course offerings or social distancing concerns, many education providers are offering their CE courses through distance education methods. If you聽were previously enrolled聽in in-person classroom courses that have since been canceled because of COVID-19, please contact your education provider to determine what other options are available to you.

Can I renew my license on inactive status?

You may renew your license on inactive status prior to July 31, 2020. Doing so allows you to renew without completing CE requirements.听

Renewals 鈥� sales agents and individual brokers only

The information above also applies to sales agents and individual brokers renewing their licenses who are subject to the deadline extension: you may complete your renewal requirements prior to your expiration date and renew timely, or you can renew inactively. However, sales agents and individual brokers who have not completed their CE requirements by their expiration date have the option to renew on active status and defer their education for an additional 60 days.

If you renew active prior to July 1, 2020, and the 星空体育app下载鈥檚 records do not reflect completion of your CE requirements, you will be charged for the 60-day deferral, however, this will be immediately rebated because of the COVID-19 extensions currently in effect. Because the COVID -19 extension will conclude on July 31, 2020, if you renew on or after July 1, 2020, and 星空体育app下载 records do not reflect completion of CE requirements, you will be charged the $200 CE Deferral Fee, pursuant to our normal process. This will allow you to receive an additional 60 days from August 1, 2020, to complete your CE requirements and remain active.

To avoid paying the CE deferral fee, CE requirements must be posted to your license record prior to submitting your renewal. You can check the status of your CE on your Review聽the聽Renewal Education Information聽page on the 星空体育app下载 website. Simply enter your name or license number in the License Holder Search.

PLEASE NOTE:聽 because education providers have up to 10 days to submit roster information to the agency, there may be a delay in reporting from when you complete your education.听

How does the July 31, 2020 extension affect my 60 day CE deferral deadline?

• If you were subject to the CE deferral period prior to the initial March 11, 2020, COVID-19 related extension, your 60-day deferral period ends on July 31, 2020.
• If you were subject to the CE deferral after the initial March 11, 2020, COVID-19 related extension, and before the extension ends on July 31, 2020, your 60-day deferral period ends on September 30, 2020.
