Request To Place License On Inactive Status
- This form should be used by licensees who want their licenses to be placed on Inactive status. Brokers-in-Charge (BICs) requesting removal of affiliated brokers must submit the Request to Remove Licensee From Broker Supervision form (REC 2.13) .
- Address of Record: While your license is on Inactive status, your address of record will be your residence address, and you are still required to notify the Commission within 10 days of any change in that address.
- License Renewal: A license on Inactive status must still be timely renewed in order to avoid license expiration.
- Brokers-in-Charge (BICs): Placing your license on Inactive status will terminate your BIC Eligible status and your BIC designation. If you wish to regain BIC Eligible status [and, in turn, BIC designation], please contact License Services for instructions ( LS@ncrec.gov or 919.875.3700 , x772).
- Provisional Brokers (PBs): PBs must complete the 90-hour postlicensing requirement within 18 months of initial licensure to remain on or be eligible for active status. Postlicensing courses timeout after 2 years, so it is important to complete the program in full within 2 years or less, to avoid having to repeat courses at a later date. See Commission Rule 58A .1902 .
- Continuing Education: You are not required to satisfy the eight (8) hours of continuing education for each license period while your license is on inactive status. However, you may choose to complete continuing education annually to avoid increased educational requirements to activate at a later date. See Commission Rule 58A .1703 .
- Reactivating an Inactive License: Continuing education and postlicensing (if applicable) deficiency requirements must be completed prior to activation and a properly completed License Activation and Broker Affiliation form (REC 2.08) must be received by the commission. See Commission Rules 58A .1703 and 58A .1902 regarding educational requirements for license activation.
