and the credits can be completed at any time during the 24 months
preceding the expiration date

3. Step 2: Where to complete continuing ed
• In Massachusetts, continuing education course credits
can be completed online, in a physical classroom, or a
hybrid of both.

the real estate school will issue you a certificate.

4. Step 3: Submitting the renewal form
• Approximately 30-60 days prior to expiration, the Massachusetts
Division of Professional Licensure will send out a renewal form to
the licensee.
• The renewal form needs to be filled out and returned with a check to
the Division by the expiration date.
• For lost or misplaced renewal forms, reach out to the board directly
at 617-727-2373 to request a replacement. This form is not
available online

• Within a couple of weeks of submitting the real estate
license renewal form, the licensee will receive an
updated real estate license from the state in the mail.

your most current address on file.
