Dos and Don’ts for Examination
Applicants
DO complete the application
form correctly and fully, using your legal name. Any misrepresentations or
missing items may result in a delay in being scheduled for examination or
disqualification from the examination. If you have completed the required
education courses, submit transcripts with your application. The name listed on
your transcripts should match your name listed on your examination application.
If a name change has occurred, supporting documentation such as a marriage
certificate or copy of your driver’s license must be submitted.
DO submit your application
once only. Submitting duplicate applications by mail, fax, and/or eLicensing
may result in extra fees and delays.
DO use the eLicensing
online system to inform the CalBRE of any change in your examination mailing
address. Changes may also be submitted in writing at the examination site;
using the Salesperson
Examination Change
Application (RE 415A) or the Broker Examination Change Application (RE 415B).
DO check available
examination dates and view a list of examination sites on the CalBRE Web site
to find out when and where the CalBRE is scheduling examinations. Please keep
in mind that a particular
examination location may be
filled by the time your application is processed.
DO wait the amount of time
indicated on the CalBRE Web site to receive notification of your examination
date, time, and location. If you have not received your notice within the
application processing timeframes listed on the CalBRE Web site, please use
eLicensing to check to see if an examination has been scheduled for you. If you
have been scheduled but have misplaced or not received your Examination
Schedule Notice (RE 401A), you can request a duplicate using eLicensing. If you
haven’t been scheduled or received a deficiency notice within the published
processing timeframe, call the CalBRE Examination Section at (877) 373-4542.
Don’t send cash.
Don’t apply for examination
if you are not prepared to take it. Unless otherwise requested, you will be
scheduled for the first available examination date on or after the date you
indicated on your application.
Don’t expect a refund or
credit for any fees submitted. Fees are nonrefundable per Business and
Professions Code section 10207.
