Obtaining and Maintaining a License Flashcards
Being licensed means that you
have passed the state exam. You’ve been given your license (well, technically, printed it out yourself), chock full of prima facie evidence that you are licensed.
Registration is when you
officially register with the DBPR. For sales associates and broker associates, that includes officially registering that you are working for your sponsoring broker. You can register yourself, or your broker can register you. It can be done online, or by returning form RE 11: Change of Status for Sales Associates and Broker Associates

Every sales associate must take a 45-hour post-licensing education course
before their first renewal. You’ve got to take it from a licensed provider. At the end, there is an exam, and you must score at least 75%. Like your pre-licensing education, you can only take the exam twice. If you fail both times, you must re-do the course.
