From the Dept. of Licensing:
QUESTION & ANSWER
FOR THE NEW 18.85 RCW
March 8, 2010
QUESTION: I have an active license that expires August 5, 2010. This will not be my first active renewal. What continuing education will I have to provide?
ANSWER: A total of 30 clock hours of approved continuing education that MUST include:
· 3 hour Core
· 3 hour Transition Course
QUESTION: I have been inactive for 2 years and my license does not expire until November 1, 2010. What will I have to provide to the department if I activate my license after June 30th 2010?
ANSWER: You will be required to submit a completed application for a real estate license signed by you and your managing broker. In addition, if a fingerprint card has not been submitted to the real estate program within the last 6 years, you must include a completed fingerprint card. The fingerprints can be taken at any law enforcement agency that offers fingerprinting on the department’s card. A $35.25 fee for the department to run the background check must also be included with the completed application.
You will need to contact Real Estate Licensing at (360) 664-6484 to receive the fingerprint card.
Applications to activate a license that are sent without the fingerprint card will be considered incomplete and not processed. Do not fold the fingerprint card or the prints will have to be retaken.
