The deadline to renew Pennsylvania real estate licenses is just days away.
All real estate licensees must renew their license through the Pennsylvania Licensing System (PALS) by May 31, 2024. The Pennsylvania State Real Estate Commission emailed licensees to notify them that renewals must be completed online by the deadline. If you miss the May 31 deadline, the SREC considers the license expired and you must cease practice immediately or be subject to possible discipline.
For the renewal process:
- Agent renewals can’t be completed until their broker’s license is renewed.
- Update your profile. Log into the Pennsylvania Licensing System (PALS) – and make sure your information is accurate.
- Complete your 14 hours of CE. All licensees must complete the 14-hour continuing education requirements, including the three-hour mandatory class required by the SREC, prior to renewing their licenses. CE requirements are different depending on when your license was issued.
- New agents should create an account in PALS. New licensees are required to take specific classes for their first continuing education cycle.
For details about the continuing education requirements and other frequently asked questions, view PAR’s real estate license renewal resource page.
