Idaho Requirements The Idaho Real Estate Commission (IREC) requires that all persons wanting to become licensed sales associates (Idaho real estate agents) in the State of Idaho must complete a 90-hour pre-licensing course.
LICENSING INFORMATION Real Estate Salesperson & Broker Prelicensing Requirements
1. Age Requirement
You must be at least 18 years of age at the time of application for a license.
2. Criminal Offenses & License Discipline (see the Idaho Real Estate Commission)
3. Actively Licensed in Another State?
If you currently hold an active license in another state you need not complete the prelicense real estate education or take the National portion of the license exam. You must request a certified license history from the state real estate licensing department in which you are actively licensed. This certified license history should be sent directly to you. Once you receive the original certified license history, forward it to the Idaho Real Estate Commission along with a written request for a waiver of the National portion of the licensing exam. There is a waiver request form on IREC’s website at www. irec.idaho.gov. Certified license histories are valid for IREC use for six (6) months from date of issue.
4. Residency
There is no requirement that Idaho licensees reside within Idaho.
5. Legal Presence in the U.S.
An Idaho real estate license may only be issued to an applicant who attests, under penalty of perjury, that he/she is legally present in the United States. In addition, an applicant must provide one of the following documents at the time of initial application for an Idaho real estate license:
(1) Idaho driver’s license or identification card;
(2) valid driver’s license or identification document issued by another state or U.S. territory, so long as the document contains a photo of the individual or other personal identifying information;
(3) U.S. military card or military dependent’s ID card;
(4) U.S. coast guard merchant mariner card;
(5) Native American tribal document; or
(6) valid U.S. passport.
6. Education
Provide proof of your high school graduation, high school equivalency certificate, or GED, plus completion of pre-license real estate education courses within 3 years prior to making application for licensure. (Prelicense courses completed prior to July 1, 2008 are valid for 5 years. Prelicense courses completed after June 30, 2008 are valid for 3 years.) Course schedules and descriptions for approved Idaho courses are found at www.irec.idaho.gov. Students should be aware that scheduled courses may be canceled for insufficient enrollment. To count toward licensure, a minimum score of 70% must be obtained by the student on the final exam for each course. Only 1 retake is allowed within 1 month of original exam. Attendance at all sessions of a prelicense course is required. Neither auditing a course nor challenging a course by exam is acceptable for prelicense course credit. Salesperson: complete the 45-hour Salesperson Module 1 course and the 45-hour Salesperson Module 2 course. Completed pre-license education requirements for another state’s license? If you have completed another state’s real estate prelicense courses, you can request that the Commission consider substituting those courses for Idaho’s requirements. To make a request, submit documentation to the Commission of all real estate related education which you have completed, such as an education history from your state’s real estate licensing department, transcripts from the schools in which the courses were completed, or copies of course completion certificates along with course descriptions. The education will be evaluated for transferability purposes and you will be notified of any education deficiencies.
