Can a real estate licensee renew an inactive license?

A real estate licensee can renew an inactive license to prevent the license from expiring, which is critical to maintaining their eligibility in the future. When a licensee chooses to keep their license inactive, they still must fulfill certain requirements to renew it. By renewing while inactive, they ensure that their status remains active indefinitely, provided they comply with renewal requirements, such as paying any associated fees.

The option that states a licensee cannot renew an inactive license due to a lack of required education is misleading because renewal processes typically allow for maintaining an inactive status without completing additional education until the licensee decides to reactivate their license. Similarly, insisting that a licensee cannot renew without refiling an application does not apply in this context, as ongoing renewals of inactive licenses simply require the payment of fees and possible compliance with continuing education requirements.
