How do I get a real estate license in Oklahoma?

If you have never been licensed, you start in Oklahoma with a provisional sales associate license. You take a 90-hour course and get a background check. Then you apply and pass an exam. After that, you issue your license online. If you held an active license in another state in the past five years, you follow different steps.

How to get it done

  1. Step 1. Check your license type. The Oklahoma Real Estate Commission says to choose the provisional sales associate license if you have not held an active real estate license in the past five years. Oklahoma law lists age 18 or older.

  2. Step 2. Find your school in the Commission's list of approved courses.

  3. Step 3. Take an approved 90-hour pre-license salesperson course. Ask the school for its class price.

  4. Step 4. Schedule your background check through IdentoGO and use service code 2B7NR3. It costs $60.00, paid to IdentoGO.

  5. Step 5. Apply for the license and pay the $35.00 fee to the Commission when you submit your application.

  6. Step 6. When the Commission approves your application, PearsonVUE emails you within 48 hours with a link to schedule your exam. Take the exam and pass it.

  7. Step 7. Within 48 hours of passing, the Commission emails you so you can issue your license online. You pay the license fee then.

Before you pay

The Commission keeps a list of approved courses. Before you pay a school, check that your class is on it.

We haven't confirmed which schools are on the list, whether a class can be taken online, or a class price. Ask the school about the format and the price.

The Commission may change its list and its fees. Check them yourself on the day you sign up.

Questions

Do I have to be a U.S. citizen?

No. The Commission licenses U.S. citizens and qualified non-citizens. Its proof-of-citizenship form accepts a green card, some visa documents, and asylee and refugee documents. It says someone with DACA status does not meet its requirement as a lawfully admitted alien. Most applicants send a US birth certificate or a valid US passport.

What does the license itself cost?

The rules list $95.00 plus a $15.00 Education and Recovery Fund fee, which is $110. The fee schedule also lists $110, but the FAQ still lists $100.00.

What if I fail the exam?

You can take it again, and you pay the $75.00 exam fee, with the booking discount, for each attempt. You can retake it at a testing center or online through remote proctoring. Remote attempts are limited to three per exam portion in your one-year period; testing-center attempts are unlimited.

Can I get a license with a felony conviction?

You may still qualify. The Commission says a felony conviction in the past 20 years does not always end your chance, so ask it to review your case.

I'm licensed in another state. Do I start over?

The Commission lists a different license type if you hold or have held an active sales associate license in another state in the past five years. Its steps: 1 hour of the Broker Relationship Act, 1 hour of Code and Rules, 6 hours of Contracts and Forms, a license history from every state, an IdentoGO background check, then apply. Out-of-state applicants name an Oklahoma resident as registered agent.

What do I take after I get my license?

Your provisional license expires at the end of the twelfth month, including the month of issuance. Before the first expiration date, you complete 45 clock hours of post-license education.
