Renew real estate and business agents licence

Renewal applications for real estate and business agent licences.

Your triennial certificate is valid for 3 years. Courtesy renewal reminder notices are sent by email. To ensure you receive reminders, ensure your contact details are up to date. To allow sufficient time for assessment, you should lodge your renewal application at least 4 weeks before your licence expiry date. 

If your licence does expire, you can still renew it within 60 days with no late fee. A late fee will apply if you submit your renewal more than 60 days and up to 12 months after the expiry date. Licences cannot be renewed once they have been expired for more than 12 months.

Before you apply

  • Your licence number (shown on your licence or search WA Licence Search).
  • A police check (dated within the past 3 months, issued in your full legal name) for all partners/directors or the individual.

Renewal date after late renewal

You can renew your triennial certificate after it expires, and when your renewal takes effect depends on how late you renew:

Within 1 month after expiry

If your renewal is approved, it takes effect from the day after the certificate expired.

More than 1 month but within 12 months after expiry

If you renew more than one month but no more than twelve months after expiry, the renewal generally still takes effect from the day after expiry, unless there is reasonable cause for a different outcome.

More than 12 months after expiry

Applications lodged more than 12 months after expiry cannot be accepted. You will need to apply for a new registration. For current fees, visit Property industry licensing fees.
