When Does My Arizona Real Estate License Expire? (And How to Check in 60 Seconds)

Arizona real estate licenses renew every two years, with your expiration tied to your original issue date โ€” not a fixed statewide deadline. That means your renewal date is personal, and it's easy to lose track of.

Check your exact date two ways

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
