Real Estate License Continuation and Mutual State Licensing Acknowledgment in Nevada

Once approved, Nevada real estate licenses remain active for two years initially. To keep your license current and in good standing, you must renew it every 2 years on or before the expiration date.

Renewal Requirements

Renewal Cycle: 2 years Renewal Deadline: Anniversary of initial licensure

1st Renewal CE Requirements: 3 hours each of Agency, Contracts, Ethics, and Law & Legislation

Subsequent Renewal CE Requirement: 24 hours

For subsequent license renewals, you must complete 24 hours of continuing education courses. Only 12 of those hours can be completed online, the other 12 hours must be via live or virtual classroom instruction.

To renew your license, submit the Renewal Application Form 580 by hand, mail, or through the online services portal along with proof of completing continuing education to the Nevada Realty Commission. Pay the $180 renewal fee before expiration.^3,4

Late renewals up to 12 months past expiration face a penalty fee but allow you to reinstate your license after catching up on requirements. Licenses that expire over 12 months are considered closed and require starting over with pre-licensing education and reapplying as if brand new.

Nevada Real Estate License Reciprocity

Nevada offers reciprocal licensing acknowledgment to real estate agents holding current and active licenses from certain other states. This facilitates transferring an active out-of-state real estate license to Nevada.

• Arizona
• Colorado
• Delaware
• Idaho
• Kentucky
• Louisiana
• Minnesota
• Texas
• Utah
• West Virginia

Applicants must pass the state portion of the Nevada real estate exam. However, pre-licensing education requirements are waived for approved reciprocal states.

To apply for a Nevada real estate salesperson license by reciprocity:

• Form 549 must be submitted¹
