Step 2. Pass your pre-licensing course exam
In order to take your Arizona Real Estate Exam, you must pass your course exam. This exam is proctored and must be taken with a qualified in-person proctor.
Step 3. Submit the required documents
You will need to submit two forms to the ADRE, a Fingerprint Clearance Card and a Disciplinary Actions Disclosure Form.
Fingerprinting can be set up with the Arizona Department of Public Safety. In order to submit your Fingerprint Clearance Card, you must first apply for your card and receive clearance from the DPS.
As part of the background check for your real estate license, you are required to submit the Disciplinary Actions Disclosure Form when you submit your real estate license application.
If you are getting your Arizona real estate license with any prior convictions, there are some additional documents the ADRE needs. If you want to know more about getting your real estate license with a criminal record, check out our career center article.
Step 4. Complete the 6-hour Contract Writing Class
After you complete the 90-hour pre-licensing course, but before you can apply for an Arizona real estate license, you must take an introductory 6-hour Contract Writing Class. The 6-hour course includes three hours of contract law and three hours on real estate legal issues. As of March 2022, Aceable’s 90-hour pre-licensing course includes the mandatory 6-hour contract writing course. When you send in a license application you’ll have to submit a certificate of completion from the course provider to prove you took the contract writing class.
