Licensure Requirements:
Please note terms "resident" and "nonresident" as used herein refer to the principal business location, not the applicant's personal residence.
To apply for a nonresident license if one is currently licensed and practicing within another state:
- Complete the state law portion of the two part Delaware licensing examination for either a broker or salesperson's license. No additional education is required for those applicants who will be affiliated with a broker's office outside the State of Delaware. Please refer to the License Law and Rules and Regulations for most issues covered by the state law portion of the examination. Other points of Real Estate law may be researched through online publications. Refer to the "Candidate Handbook" on the testing service web site for information concerning the examination process.
- Submit the original application distributed by the testing service upon successful completion of the examination to the Commission within one year of the completion of the examination. The pro-rated fee and the Guaranty Fund fee of $25.00 payable to the "State of Delaware," a copy of your current license from the other jurisdiction, certificate or certificates of licensure history for any states in which you are presently or were previously licensed, and any other documentation listed on the application must be included with your application. Broker applicants must also submit a current original credit report from a major credit reporting bureau and a list of 30 sales transactions made within the last five (5) years certified by the broker of record at the time of the transactions. The format for the list of sales includes the buyers' and sellers' names, address of the property, type of property, price, date of settlement, and signature of the broker of record.
Note: If you intend to affiliate with a resident Delaware licensed broker whose office is inside the State of Delaware, you may be required to complete additional prelicensing education credit in order to acquire a "resident" license. Delaware has a 99 hour prelicensing course requirement. Delaware does not credit continuing education hours from another jurisdiction toward the prelicensing requirement. You must acquire any deficit hours owed from a Delaware approved prelicensing course provider.
General Information:
The Real Estate Commission normally meets monthly to review applications and conduct other business. Applicants are informed in writing as to the disposition of their applications within 7 to 10 business days.
