Renewing a Licence & CPE

ANNUAL LICENCE RENEWALS

All licensees are required to renew their licences by June 30th every year. Renewal notices are emailed to licensees on May 10th with a link to the Licensee Portal to log in and renew their licences. Licensees will recieve weekly email reminders until their licence is renewed. 

CONTINUING PROFESSIONAL EDUCATION

To be eligible for licence renewal, licensees are required to take annual continuing professional education (CPE). The Commission announces the annual CPE requirement in late summer, which must be completed by June 15th. Licensees who become licensed between January 1st and June 30th are not required to complete the current licensing cycle’s CPE to renew their licence on July 1st of that year.

Failure to meet CPE requirements by June 15th means that your licence will not be renewed and your name may be published for failure to meet this requirement (see Bylaw 839). Licensees who do not complete their CPE on time are not eligible to renew their licence.

The Nova Scotia Association of REALTORS® (NSAR) facilitates CPE courses. Please contact NSAR to register.

LICENCE EXTENSION

Licensees may apply for a 30-day extension of their licence if their CPE requirements are not met by June 15th. Any remaining CPE credits must be completed by the end of the 30-day extension or their licence will not be renewed and the licensee must cease all trading activity, including advertising.
