Understanding your Florida real estate license status is key to staying in compliance and avoiding interruptions in your ability to practice.
🔎 Types of License Status
When you check your license on myfloridalicense.com, you’ll see one of the following statuses:
✅ Active – You are eligible to legally practice real estate in Florida.
⏸️ Inactive – You hold a valid license but are not affiliated with a broker, so you cannot actively practice until reactivated.
🚫 Null & Void – Your license has been invalidated, usually because you missed a required post-licensing course.
🛑 Expired – Your license has not been renewed by the required deadline and is currently not valid.
❌ Suspended/Revoked – Disciplinary status due to violations. Contact DBPR for details.
🗓️ When Do Licenses Expire?
Florida real estate licenses follow a 2-year renewal cycle.
Renewal dates are either March 31 or September 30
