How to Renew Your License

Real Estate License Renewals


RI real estate licensees must renew their license every 2 years online with the RI Department of Business Regulation.  For those who were licensed prior to 1/1/2020, be prepared to renew by 4/30/2024.  For those that were licensed after 1/1/2020, your license has an issue date on it, which is your “anniversary”.  You will renew your license every 2 years just prior to your anniversary date. 

Renewal notices come via email from the RI Department of Business Regulation’s (DBR) Real Estate Division generally 60 days prior to your expiration but you must keep your email address current with the RI Department of Business Regulation’s Real Estate Division.  If you did not receive the email and you have check both your junk and inbox folders, contact them through the email and phone number listed on their website.

Effective 1/1/2022, all licensees (except those who are grandfathered), must complete 3 hours of Fair Housing Education as part of their 24 hours.
