How long does a candidate have to file their application for a real estate license after passing the exam?

A candidate must file their application for a real estate license within 90 days after passing the exam. This timeframe is established to ensure that the candidate takes prompt action to secure their license following their successful examination. The 90-day window allows candidates to prepare their application materials and gather any necessary documentation while still being recent enough in terms of their training and knowledge gained during their studies.

If a candidate fails to file within this period, they may have to retake the exam or may not be able to proceed with their licensure, which emphasizes the importance of timely submission in the licensing process. This rule helps maintain the integrity and efficiency of the licensing system by ensuring that only those who have recently demonstrated their competence through examination are actively seeking licensure.
