How do I apply for my state exam?
Candidates for the real estate sales and brokers exams must submit an application to the California Bureau of Real Estate (DRE). You can find the application on the DRE website located at www.dre.ca.gov. Along with your application you must send verification that you’ve completed the appropriate home study courses. Please note, the DRE offers two versions of their applications: with one, you’re applying for just the licensing exam; with the other, called a combined application, you’re applying for both the exam and your real estate license at the same time. To expedite getting your license, opt for the combined application.
How do I find out if my exam application has been processed?
The turn-around time for processing often takes 4+ weeks. You can track the process of your application, by logging into the eLicensing section of the DRE website.
