Address Types
There are 3 types of addresses that have
been established to support your needs: profile mailing, license mailing
and license location.
Profile Mailing Address - This address is your company's main address. For
example, your company headquarters' address.
License Mailing Address - This is the address where the mail associated with a
particular license will be sent.
License Location - This is address where your place of business is physically
located.
An example of the use of different
addresses:
If Jane Doe is a sales associate that works
for ACME Realty, she may have 3 different addresses listed in her profile.
Her Profile Mailing Address would be the address of ACME Realty's
corporate headquarters. Her License Mailing may be her home so she
doesn't have to visit the office to pick up her mail. Finally, her License
Location would be the address of the ACME Realty's branch office where she
works.
If Jane Doe worked independently,
she may have only one address on file (Profile Mailing Address) as her office is the
same place she wishes to receive her mail.

Application or License
Status
There are two terms that are used to
describe the status of a license or an application: primary status and
secondary status. Below are the general definitions of each of these terms
to help clarify the status of either the application or license that you are
reviewing.
Primary Status Definitions
Applicant - the individual or
organization has applied for a license but has not yet been
approved.
Withdrew - the individual or
organization in question withdrew their request for
licensure.
Expired - the individual or
organization's application has expired.
Deny Credential - the
application for licensure was denied due to insufficient information and/or
credentials.
Eligible - the
applicant has been approved to proceed with the next licensure requirement (e.g.
examination).
Current - the licensee is up
to date with respect to the department's requirements for
licensure.
Probation - the licensee has
been placed on probation by the department as part of a disciplinary
action.
Conditional - the licensee is
up to date with the department requirements (e.g. continuing education, payment,
etc.) but most operate under pre-determined guidelines. For example, a condition
of licensure may be that an individual must work under a
supervisor.
License Authority Voided -
the licensee has not been timely in meeting their obligations to the
department.
Suspended - the licensee's
work privileges have been suspended for a specified period of
time.
Invol. Inactive - the
licensee has not completed a timely renewal of their
license.
Vol. Relinquish - the
licensee has returned their current license as notification that they no longer
desire to possess the license.
Relinquish - the
department requests the forfeiture (return) of the associated
license.
Null & Void - the licensee has
failed to renew several times. To operate under the terms of this license again,
the licensee would have to reapply for licensure.
Revoked - the licensee no
longer meets the department's requirements to operate under the associated
license.
Deceased - the department was
notified that the licensee is now deceased and therefore updated the license
record.
Secondary Status Definitions
Active - the licensee is
allowed to operate under the associated license.
Closed - the
organization associated with this license will be closed for business for a set
period of time (e.g. remodeling).
Inactive - the licensee
has met the department's requirements for licensure but is not allowed to work
under this license. Licenses are usually inactive if the person or
organization wants to remain in good standing while they pursue other
ventures. In order to return to an active status, the individual or
organization would simply have to notify the department and complete any
outstanding requirements.
No Employer - the terms
of the associated license require that a related license be established.
This status reflects there is currently no employer "sponsoring" this
license.
No Qlfing Brokr - the terms
of the associated license require that a related license be established. This
status reflects there is currently such a relationship but the broker involved
is not currently eligible to "sponsor."
Date
Filed
The date filed is the date that the
application was received by the DBPR application intake unit.
Expires
The expiration date is the date
that either the license or the application, whichever is applicable, is set
to expire. For example, if an individual is licensed, they may have
an expiration date of 9/30/2001. This means the individual would have to
renew by that date to retain their license's status.

that is made up by the person activating their Online Services Account which become
part of their security profile. An example of a hint question may be,
"What is my favorite movie?"
Hint Answer - the associated answer
to the hint question that was added as part of the activation process.
For example, if the hint question was "What is my favorite movie?" the
hint answer may be "The Natural."

Related - these

for
correspondence from the department, for example an attorney or office manager.
Rank
Rank is a term used to segregate
the requirements for licensure between groups that are somewhat similar
in nature. For example, the license type known as Real Estate Broker or
Sales has within it three ranks: sales associate, broker associate and broker. All of
these "ranks" have varying requirements for licensure but are within
the same profession. Rank is used to separate them more easily.
