If you are relocating, timing matters as much as the requirements. If your license has lapsed, reinstatement is the path back to working.
Plan your licensing steps around your move date to avoid gaps. The exact requirements depend on how long the license has been inactive or expired, so verify your status.
Reinstatement plan
Schedule each step so approvals land when you arrive. Use a structured plan so you do not miss required education or paperwork.
- Log into DBPR to confirm your license status and reinstatement options.
- Review any required education or exam steps tied to your status.
- Complete the required coursework with proof of completion.
- Submit the reinstatement application and fees through DBPR.
- Confirm activation and broker affiliation before transacting.
