Announcement - Real Estate Paperless Licensing Started June 4, 2015
The Department of Business and Professional Regulation and the Florida Real Estate Commission are excited to announce an advancement in how we license real estate professionals in the State of Florida.
The Department has implemented an innovative way to expedite the licensing process for real estate professionals. Applicants who have passed the state’s licensing examination can now print their licenses by just logging into their secure online account with the Department at www.myfloridalicense.com. This will allow new licensees to enter the work force at least 7 to 10 business days early, whereas, in the past, they would have to wait for the license to arrive in the mail. The Department regulates over one million license holders and on an average issues 2000 real estate licenses each month. In addition to new licenses, this process will allow licensees to renew online and print the license at their convenience.
