Is your Florida real estate license currently not in good standing with the DBPR? Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered. Follow these steps to get your license back on track.

1. Checking Your Involuntary Inactive License Status

Begin by visiting the DBPR’s website to check the status of your Florida real estate license. Input your name or license number to access the information. Look for the “status/expires” section. If it reads “involuntary inactive, inactive” or “involuntary inactive, active,” it means your license is not in good standing. You won’t be able to activate it with any real estate company until it’s rectified.

If you find yourself in this situation, contact the DBPR directly at 850-487-1395.

2. Restoring Involuntary Inactive to Good Standing

While still on the DBPR’s website, take note of the date in the “status/expires” section. If it’s within 12 months, you’ll likely only need to complete a 14-hour CE course and pay a small late fee to the DBPR. If it’s been 13-24 months since your expiration date, you’ll need to complete a 28-hour reactivation course and pay a small late fee to the DBPR. Once you exceed 24 months from your expiration date (48 months for brokers), your Florida real estate license will become null and void. It’s crucial to contact the DBPR (information above) to get clear guidance on what steps to take before enrolling in any courses. Additionally, ensure you have a login for the DBPR’s website through your license. This will allow you to conveniently pay any fees owed in your online DBPR account.
