Rhode Island Real Estate Agents Can Now Renew Their Professional Licenses Online

Rhode Island realtors now have an easier way to renew their broker and sales licenses

Rhode Island realtors now have an easier way to renew their broker and sales licenses, due to a new online service offered by Rhode Island's Department of Business Regulation. The Real Estate Broker and Sales Renewal service provides more than 7,800 Rhode Island realtors with convenient online renewals at the state's official Web site.

"In this information age, we are pleased to be able to provide business-friendly technology to professionals working in and around Rhode Island," said Governor Donald Carcieri in a release. "These are the first of many professional license renewals that will be available online. We will continue this momentum to streamline government services by providing better service, with less paperwork, that benefit Rhode Island businesses."

Real estate brokers and agents licensed in Rhode Island can log in 24 hours a day and seven days a week by using their license number. They must provide broker and errors and omissions insurance information, and applicants must attest that continuing education requirements have been fulfilled. The entire renewal process, including payment, should take less than 10 minutes. The user will receive an online receipt and will be mailed the renewed license. Licensees can be renewed online through April 30, 2006. Renewals after the expiration date may be completed online and a $100 late fee will be assessed.

Rhode Island's eLicensing is an initiative driven by Governor Carcieri's Fiscal Fitness team to provide business-friendly technology that will offer better services, streamline internal government processes, and reduce paperwork flow and the costs associated with the manual renewal process. A variety of professional licenses have been identified as future eLicensing services. Several agencies will work with the Fiscal Fitness team, the Department of Information Technology, and RI.gov to provide online professional license renewals.
