After passing your exam, the next step is to complete your fingerprinting and background check. The Washington State Department of Licensing requires that all real estate applicants have a background check performed before they can become a licensed real estate broker in Washington. You can also schedule and pay for a fingerprint appointment online. Note that a background check is required not only during the initial license but also every six years afterward.
Completing and turning in your fingerprints will begin the background check process. The Washington State Department of Licensing will review any findings in your background report to ensure your eligibility. During this process, they may reach out to you to provide additional information or documentation to clear up any findings.
If this is the case, you should upload documents if they help explain the situation — charging documents, court orders, disciplinary letters, etc. The last step to getting your real estate license in Washington is to complete your license application. Suppose you would like to mail your application. In that case, it is possible to fill out a paper application instead-but note that there is a delay for mailed applications, so an online application is encouraged.
In most cases, this process should take between business days. Be sure to take some time to celebrate your accomplishment. The two steps that take the most time when getting your license are pre-license education and test preparation. The average amount of time that people take from start to finish is generally months.
