WEEKLY PRACTICE TIPS

Licensees Must Print DRE License Certificates

 Effective July, 2012, the DRE has implemented an online printing process for license certificates whereby licensees can go online and print their license certificates when they first obtain their license or they renew their license.

The Department will continue to provide licensees with a pocket identification card; however, license certificates will ONLY be available for printing from the DRE website.

In order to print a license certificate, licensees will need to register on eLicensing on the DRE website by setting up an account with a username and password. Once they have registered on eLicensing and have logged into their account, there will be a list of menu options including an option to print the license certificate.

Employing brokers are still required to maintain license certificates at their main office location.  However, employing brokers cannot print out the license certificates of their licensed employees.  The individual licensee must go online and print their own license certificate and then provide it to their employing broker. 

Nothing else about this process, or the requirement of brokers to maintain license certificates of their agents, has changed.
