General powers of the Commissioner, Sections 10050, 10071, and 10075
of the Business and Professions Code authorizes the maintenance of this
information.
Business and Professions Code Sections 30, 31(e) and 494.5(d) require
each real estate licensee to initially provide to the Department of Real
Estate his or her social security number which will be furnished to the
Franchise Tax Board. The Franchise Tax Board will use your number
to establish identication exclusively for tax purposes. These code
sections also require that each application for a new license or renewal
provides notication on the application, that the Board of Equalization
and the Franchise Tax Board will share taxpayer information with the
Department of Real Estate, and that failure to pay tax obligations may
result in a suspension or denial of a license. The Board of Equalization
and Franchise Tax Board require the Department to collect social
security numbers and federal taxpayer identication numbers for the
purposes of matching the names of the 500 largest tax delinquencies
pursuant to Section 7063 or 19195 of the Revenue and Taxation Code.
Your social security numbers and federal taxpayer identication number
shall not be deemed public records and shall not be open to the public
for inspection.
The Real Estate Law and the Regulations of the Commissioner require
applicants to provide the Department with specic information. If all
or any part of the required information is not provided, processing may
be delayed. In addition, the Commissioner may suspend or revoke a
license, or in the case of a license applicant, may deny the issuance for
misstatements of facts (including a failure to disclose a material fact) in
an application for a license.
The information requested in this form is primarily used to furnish
license status information to the Department’s Enforcement Section, and
to answer inquiries and give information to the public on license status,
mailing and business addresses and actions taken to deny, revoke, restrict
or suspend licenses for cause.
This information may be transferred to real estate licensing agencies
in other states, law enforcement agencies (City Police, Sheriffs
Departments, District Attorneys, Attorney General, F.B.I.), and any
other regulatory agencies (i.e., Department of Business Oversight,
Department of Insurance, Department of Consumer Affairs, California
Bar Association).

CE GENERAL INFORMATION
Courses Valid for Four Years
All continuing education course offerings attended must
be completed within the four-year period immediately
preceding the effective date of renewal. This is normally
the day after the expiration date for an on-time renewal.
All licensees are allowed two years beyond the expiration
date of their license to renew on a late basis by meeting the
renewal requirements in effect at that time. In this case, all
course offerings must be completed within the four-year
period immediately preceding the date the application is
received by the Department.
CE course credit expires four years from the course
completion date; therefore, courses completed as part of a
prior renewal requirement cannot be applied to a current
renewal application.
Corporation Ofcer License
A currently licensed individual broker is not required to
provide evidence of completion of 45 hours of CE to renew
a corporation ofcer license or apply for a new corporation
ofcer license. However, a person who is licensed only as a
corporation ofcer must submit evidence of completion of
CE requirements to a) renew the existing license, b) apply
for a new corporation ofcer license, or c) apply for an
individual broker license.

certicate numbers.
Do not send CE certicates of attendance to the
Department unless specically requested to do so.
(CE certicates should be retained by the licensee for
a period of four years or until the renewal process has
been successfully completed.)
