A corrected Salesperson License certificate will be issued and mailed to you. The license certificate will be mailed to the mailing address of record on file for you. If you have moved, please remember to notify us of your new mailing address and, if applicable, of your new phone number so that we can update our records and mail your license certificate to the correct address.
HOW TO REPORT CHANGE OF EMPLOYING DEALER
- Complete and return Change of Employing Dealer form to the Department or provide Department with a signed statement advising of your employment. If providing statement, you must identify your name, salesperson license number, name of new employing dealer, new employing dealer’s license number, and the effective date of your new employment. This statement should also be co-signed by the Qualifying Party of that dealership.
- Provide Department with required administrative function fee. Check is to be made payable to the Arizona Department of Housing.
The Department will update your licensing file and the Department’s licensing database to reflect your new employing dealer information. We do not issue new Salesperson License certificates when there has been a change of employing dealer. Your Salesperson License certificate is your property and you have the right to take the license certificate with you when you leave the employ of a dealer or broker even if that dealer or broker paid for your license. You will post your Salesperson License certificate at the licensed location of your new employing dealer or broker.
HOW TO PLACE A SALESPERSON'S LICENSE ON INACTIVE STATUS
- Your license MUST be in a valid status at the time you request inactive status.
- Provide Department with written and signed request for inactive status. The request must identify your name and Salesperson License Number.
- Return your current Salesperson License certificate to the Department with your written request for inactive status or, if applicable, your request for inactive status must state that you no longer have your Salesperson License certificate.
- Provide Department with required administrative function fee. Check is to be made payable to the Arizona Department of Housing.
All requirements for inactive status must be met while the license has valid status. When all requirements are met, we will send you a letter granting inactive status and state the effective date of the inactive status. If there are outstanding matters that prohibit inactive status, we will send you a letter advising of the matter(s) that must be resolved before inactive status can be granted. Inactive status is good for a period of two years. If you fail to reactivate your license during the two year period, the license will be deemed “dead” and you will need to reapply for a new license should you wish to be licensed as a salesperson in the future.
HOW TO REACTIVATE LICENSE ON INACTIVE STATUS
- Submit written, signed request for inactive status. The request must identify your name and Salesperson’s License Number.
- If license is due for renewal, you will be required to provide a completed and signed renewal form along with the current year’s renewal fee. Your renewal form must identify the name and license number of the employing dealer.
A Salesperson License certificate will be mailed to you at your mailing address of record. The license certificate must be posted in a conspicuous place at the licensed location of your employing dealer or broker.
HOW TO VOLUNTARILY CANCEL LICENSE
- Submit written, signed request to cancel your salesperson’s license. The request must identify your name and Salesperson’s License Number.
- Return your current Salesperson License certificate with your request or, if applicable, your request must state that you do not have the license certificate.
If there are no outstanding matters pending against your license, you will receive a letter from the Department advising that your license has been cancelled and the letter will state the effective date of the cancellation. If there are outstanding matters, the Department will notify you of this by letter. Your license must be valid at the time of your request for voluntary cancellation. No administrative function fee is required to cancel the license. You will need to reapply for a new salesperson license should you wish to be licensed as a salesperson again.
