Information About Renewal Applications for All Licensees
All Resident and all Inactive licenses expire on April 30 of even years (e.g., 2010, 2012). Nonresident and Branch Office licenses currently expire April 30 of odd years (e.g., 2009). However, the Commission has decided to transition to the same renewal period for all Real Estate licenses. A letter more fully explaining the transition has been sent to all licensees.

- If you hold a Nonresident or Branch Office license, click here for the text of the letter sent in December 2008.
Note: “Resident” and “Nonresident” refer to the principal business location, not personal residence.
Several weeks before your license expiration date, a renewal notice will be mailed to you. This notice will explain how to access the online renewal application. To complete the online renewal application, you must use a credit card to pay your renewal fee. The notice will also explain how to request a paper renewal application if you are unable to renew online.

You can not reactivate an inactive license online. If you wish to return your license to active status so that you can practice in Delaware, complete and submit a Request for Reactivation of a Delaware Real Estate License.
How to Renew an Expired License
If you do not renew your license before the expiration date, your license will expire. It is illegal to practice while your license is expired.
You may renew a license for a period of sixty days after the expiration date by submitting a renewal application and paying a late fee. However, if the license has been expired more than 60 days, you must apply for reinstatement of the license.
