Your license will change from “Active” status to a “Lapsed, Voluntarily Terminated” status. It will remain in that status until either your license expires on 10-31-06 or until you transfer your license to active status with another employing broker. If you desire to become actively licensed, complete a Real Estate Salesperson Transfer Application. A real estate salesperson’s license cannot be active without an employing broker, even if the salesperson is not “active” in the field (e.g., conducting any real estate business). Many employing brokers hold licenses for part-time or inactive salespersons, but the Department still considers the license active.

If you have a change of name or address while your license is in the Lapsed, Voluntarily Terminated status, you can submit the change in writing or fax it to 517-373-1044. Please include your permanent i.d. number and a contact telephone number in case the Department has a question. A replacement license will not be printed because it is not an active license, but the change will be updated on the license database.

Please remember that if you continue to attain six clock hours of approved real estate continuing education even while your license is not active, you will automatically meet the continuning education requirements should you desire to reactivate in the future.
