More Q & A on new Fingerprinting rules
Direct from the DOL here is verbatim the latest on the new fingerprinting process for license renewals:
QUESTION: My renewal date is March 2011. May I request a fingerprint card from the Real Estate Program in July 2010 so I can get my required fingerprinting completed early?
ANSWER: No, fingerprinting for the renewal of an active license will be required on a predetermined schedule and will only be accepted on cards furnished by the Real Estate Program at the required renewal time.
QUESTION: How do I renew online if I need to provide a completed fingerprint card?
ANSWER: The online Solar system will not allow you to renew if you are required to provide a completed fingerprint card. For that renewal you will have to either mail or hand deliver your completed renewal form which will include continuing education affidavit, fingerprint card, and fee.
QUESTION: How much will a license renewal with fingerprints cost?
ANSWER: The broker renewal notice will indicate a renewal of $146.25 if paid on time plus a fingerprint card check fee of $35.25 for a total of $181.50. The managing broker renewal notice will indicate a renewal of $210.00 if paid on time plus a fingerprint card check fee of $35.25 for a total of $245.25. Remember, the law enforcement agency doing the fingerprints will have a separate fee.
I have had a lot of questions on this, so I thought I would pass it on. Hope it helps.
Have a great weekend.
