Note: Your examination application should be submitted only once or your examination date may be changed and the fee may be charged again. If your application is approved, you will be sent an Examination

Schedule Notice (RE 401A) listing your examination date, time, and location. If you do not receive your notice within the application processing timeframe listed on the CalBRE Web site, please use the eLicensing online system at www.bre.ca.gov to see if you have been scheduled for an examination. If you lost your Examination Schedule Notice or did not receive it, you can request a duplicate using eLicensing.

If you are not qualified when you submit your application and fee, you will be notified in writing. You will have two years from the date the CalBRE received your application to qualify for and pass the examination. If you do not qualify for and pass the examination within the two years, your application will expire and you will need to submit a new application, fee, and other required documents. Fees are nonrefundable per Business and Professions Code section 10207.


If you have not been scheduled or notified of an application deficiency by the published processing timeframe, call the CalBRE Examination Section at (877) 373-4542.
