Yes, you must renew your license every two years just like anyone else. Far too many people think that since the Commission is "warehousing" their license they don’t have to do anything. They fail to notify the Commission of their new residence addresses and let their license lapse. Later they decide to get back into real estate and think they can "reactivate" but they have no license to activate. It is similar to your driver’s license. If you choose not to drive for a while and don’t renew your license, you get to take the driver’s license exams and start over.
