Where to check your Florida real estate license application status
The DBPR Online Services portal is the official place to view your application status, outstanding items, and Authorization to Test updates.
Step-by-step: check your status in the DBPR portal
1) Sign in to your DBPR account
Log in with the email and password you used when you started the application. Use the account tied to your legal name and Social Security number.
2) Open your application record
Navigate to the section that lists your applications. Select the sales associate (RE 1) application to view details.
3) Review status and outstanding items
Look for any messages, deficiency notices, or requests for documentation. These items must be resolved before approval.
4) Upload documents or respond to requests
If the DBPR requests documentation, follow the portal instructions to upload files or submit clarifications. Provide complete answers to avoid delays.
5) Confirm Authorization to Test
Once approved, your status will show eligibility for the state exam and the Authorization to Test. You can then schedule with Pearson VUE.
