Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to be fingerprinted in Texas?

No. If you reside outside the service area of IdentoGO by IDEMIA, you may request a Hard Card to get fingerprinted. A TREC-specific Hard Card must be obtained from TREC because it contains coding required by the DPS and FBI. IdentoGO by IDEMIA has details on how a Texas Non-resident can complete the fingerprinting process using a Hard Card.

I am a broker licensed in another state and would like to apply in Texas. Can I apply online?

No. To apply as an out of state broker, you must submit the paper Application for Broker Licenseby an Individual along with requested documents and the applicable fee.

I passed one section of the exam and my application has expired. Will I need to take both sections of the exam when I reapply?

Exam results for each section of the exam are valid for one year from the passing date. If you reapply less than one year from passing one section of the exam, you will not need to retake that section. Both the State and National sections of the exam must be passed before the application expiration date.

My real estate application was filed with a name that is different than the name on my government issued ID. Will this prevent me from taking the exam?

Yes. The name on your government issued photo ID must match the name on your real estate license application. If the names do not match, please submit a name change request. Include your name as it appears on the application, a copy of your government-issued photo ID, and your telephone number to TREC.

Online Services is not accepting my temporary password. What do I do?

Copy the temporary password from the email message you received when you registered. Paste it into the “Online Services – Login and Registration” web page when you log in. You will be prompted to create a new password of your own. Once you create your password, you must save it to have future access to your online account.

Does Texas have reciprocity with any other state?

Answer:

No. Texas does not have reciprocity with any state. To become licensed, you must satisfy all current Texas licensing requirements.
