THANKYOU, this was so helpful! I was confused because I was reading all the instructions that come with form 237, and the PO Box was off by one number so I thought I had to submit at different times since 435 and 909 went to a slightly different PO box. But you cleared it, thankyou :)
I am waiting for my exam only application to be processed and have not yet taken the exam. Can I get the live scan fingerprinting done before taking the exam, hang on to the RE 237 copies, and submit it with the license application after I have taken the exam? Thank you.
So will the DRE send a License application right after I pass my state exam ?? Or do I need to go to the Dre website and print out the license application myself after I pass the state exam and send it to them??
If you originally submitted the examination application of RE 400A, the DRE will provide you the license application after you pass the state exam. They will usually mail it to you. However, if you'd like to get a head start, you can complete RE 435 and select "License" instead of "Combination" and submit it to the DRE with your fingerprints and remaining fees. I hope that helps!
what happens if you did the combination exam and license application and did your live scan fingerprints but failed your exam do you have to redo the live scan fingerprints again and pay another $70 to $75 or do they hold onto the ones you already submitted?
Hi Erika, great question! The DRE approves your application for a two year period, so you will just have to pay to retake the state exam ($60 for salesperson) and then once you pass the exam within that two year period, you will receive your license! You won't need to submit new fingerprinting as long as it is done within that approval period. :)
@@accreditedschools so the live scan fingerprinting is also good for 2 years just like the licensing fee of $245? The only thing you would have to repay after a fail on a exam is the $60 to retake another one?
You will mail it if you apply via mail, but if you apply online with eLicensing then you will need to scan and upload your fingerprinting form when you are applying for the combo application online!
how long do you have once you get the fingerprints live scan done before you send all the stuff I did the fingerprints but don't have a brokerage yet.. is it 30 days? because I can figure it out soon but want to know how long the fingerprints are valid for.
We are not sure exactly how long the DRE will accept fingerprinting but once you complete RE 237 then I have heard students being able to submit it even two to three months later. I just cannot confirm that though.
It depends on the application route you choose when applying to the DRE. If you apply with the Examination only option, then you apply for the license portion after you pass the state exam. Thus, you can submit the fingerprints after taking the exam. However, if you apply with the Combination (Exam/License) Application, then you need to do your fingerprinting when you originally apply.
Do you need brokers signature cause it says it on the form for my exam completion and for finger printing I only got a receipt but I do have the identgo form?
If you are doing the combination application of RE 435 and already have a broker selected, then you can have them sign the form. Otherwise, you will select "No Broker Affiliate" and can add your broker using eLicensing once you have your license.
Thank you for asking that question! The DRE requires disclosure of all criminal record, so the felony would need to be disclosed on the application. Nondisclosure usually is immediate denial, but if disclosed then the DRE considers the type/time when making a decision. Here's some great information from the DRE on the topic: www.dre.ca.gov/files/pdf/faqs/FAQ-RERAPS.pdf
@@accreditedschools Thank you. I have 12 years behind me. Im 29 now with a good job but seeking to build a career with an open cap. Thank you for the information
Hi Anthony! If applying for a salesperson license, it would needed to disclosed on DRE form RE 435 (www.dre.ca.gov/files/pdf/forms/re435.pdf). It can be found on the background information section and a portion of it will ask for specifics. I hope that helps!
Thanks it did . But if you look at the newest form from the Dre it doesn’t ask if you have ever been convicted of a misdemeanor or felony. I see the section on the the older forms where it asks to specify everything. But it isn’t there on the newer forms.
Such a helpful video, was so lost before I found this...thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for sharing❤

@@ErikaV4828 Correct!
@@accreditedschools thank you!!! You are super helpful!!!!
Would elicensing be a quicker way to get approved?
Where do infer these forms?? Also where can I get ORI number?
You complete form RE237 from the DRE's website and then provide it to the live scan operator - they will complete the operator portion on the form!
Do you have to mail it in or can you scan the fingerprinting form and add it into the combination application online?
You will mail it if you apply via mail, but if you apply online with eLicensing then you will need to scan and upload your fingerprinting form when you are applying for the combo application online!

So you can take the exam b4 you get fingerprints?

Do they need to fill part 4? I sometime hear they do but it doesn't say to fill that in the instructions thx!
Yes, the operator will fill out Parts 3 & 4!
Thank you! The government website is confusing and a mess.
Will a ten year old felony show on a live scan. I live in ca
Great content

I had a similar question. But where would I disclose this information if it is not asked on the forms?
