If your renewal fees are current, you will need to submit a fully completed Application for Real Estate License. fee. If your license has been on an inactive status for more than three years, you will need to provide proof of completion of an approved 30 clock hour real estate course. This course must have been taken within one year prior to applying for an active status. You will also be required to submit 30 clock hours if you activate your license and you have been inactive for less than one year and during that time period renewed your licensee on an inactive status.
