Check your exact date two ways
- ADRE Licensee Login (ptl.az.gov/dre) โ your license record shows the expiration date plus your CE progress by category. This is the one to bookmark: it also shows which course categories you still owe.
- ADRE Public Database (services.azre.gov/publicdatabase) โ anyone can look up any licensee's status and expiration. No login needed. (Your clients and your broker can see this too.)
Your renewal timeline, working backward from expiration
- 90 days out: Check your Licensee Login for category deficiencies. Start CE if you haven't.
- 30 days out: All 24 hours done and submitted. Remember: ADRE caps you at 9 CE hours per day, so you need at least 3 days of runway โ and certificates must be entered in the portal yourself; schools don't report them for you.
- Renewal month: Renew online, pay the $60 fee, done.
- Day after expiration: Your license is inactive. You cannot practice, and the fee more than doubles to $125.
Set it and forget it
Put two calendar reminders in your phone right now โ one at 90 days, one at 30. The number one reason Arizona agents pay the late fee isn't laziness; it's that a two-year cycle is long enough to forget entirely.
