Every 2 years from licensed year by the last day of the month licensed.

You can renew online with the DPOR by using the PIN they sent you on the license renewal notice. The DPOR renewal PIN is temporary - valid for one renewal only. Its purpose is to allow secure login and payment of the renewal fee online. Access to online renewal payment service is available until your renewal payment is received or until the end of your renewal grace period, whichever occurs first. After an online renewal payment has been received, subsequent logins will be allowed only until the end of the grace period and only to view the receipt page - no further payments or address changes will be permitted until the next renewal cycle begins. When all renewal requirements have been met, DPOR will mail your license within 3 business days.

Your payment transaction must be completed before midnight - United States Eastern Time - of the due date.

No CE is required while inactive. License must be renewed and fee paid on time. CE must be completed prior to reactivation. Inactive salespersons renewing for the first time must complete 30 hours of post-license education (instead of continuing education).

Excess credit hours obtained in the six months immediately prior to the license expiration date shall carry over into the next two year renewal period.
