License Lookup and Continuing Education Hours

Before you can successfully renew your license you must check with DPOR (Virginia Dept. of Professional and Occupational Regulation) to make sure you have taken enough continuing education classes to qualify. One place to start is by looking up your license on their website here:
http://www.dpor.virginia.gov/regulantlookup/selection_input.cfm?CFID=3252389&CFTOKEN=17181709

Look up your license by Name, and make sure to check the “Real Estate Individuals” section before clicking on Search Licenses.

Once you look-up your name, you will see a link that says “View Continuing Education Hours” which provides you with a complete report of all the hours the DPOR has for your license. This page also provides an explanation of the breakdown of classes you are required to take to renew your license.

After verifying which classes you need to take, please visit NVAR’s Realtor® School – www.RealtorSchool.com website to register!
