Real Estate License Renewals

License renewals are processed through the RI Department of Business Regulation. RI Licensees are required to complete 24 hours of real estate-oriented education/courses approved by the RI Department of Business Regulation every 2 years. At least 9 of the 24 hours of course instruction must be designated as “core” courses andinclude a minimum of 3 hours of *Fair Housing education (*new requirement as of 1/1/2022). 

Renewal deadlines are as follows:

• If you were licensed PRIOR to January 1, 2020, your renewal deadline is April 30th, 2024.
• If you were licensed AFTER January 1, 2020, your renewal deadline is your anniversary date from every 2 years from the date on your license.
