Who is responsible for ensuring the renewal of your license?

The responsibility for ensuring the renewal of a license falls to the licensee. This means that it is the individual who holds the license that must keep track of the expiration dates and the renewal process. Typically, this includes completing any required continuing education courses, submitting renewal applications, and paying necessary fees to maintain their licensure status.

While brokers may assist or provide reminders regarding license renewals, the ultimate obligation lies with the licensee. Clients and the state department do not bear the responsibility for an individual's license renewal; the clients rely on the licensee to be compliant with licensing laws and the state department issues licenses but does not manage individual renewals beyond the administrative process once the application is submitted.
