2022 Real Estate Broker License Renewal

You are receiving this email because your email address is associated with an active real estate broker’s license at the Minnesota Department of Commerce.

If you are the Primary Broker, you are responsible for renewing licenses and verifying continuing education compliance. Please read the detailed renewal instructions and continuing education information.

It is the Primary Broker's responsibility to renew all of the licenses that are up for renewal and associated with your company before 4:30 PM Central time on June 30, 2022 on www.pulseportal.com.

You will need your user name and password in order to renew licenses. If you do not know your user name and password, you as the Primary Broker must contact Vertafore Support at 833-814-0228.

Brokers with commercial-only licensees who are exempt from the module and agency law/fair housing CE requirements must indicate this during the online mass renewal process. The commercial-only designation must be submitted online every year even if the license is not up for renewal this year. Please note that after confirming the commercial-only status, you will be sent back to the original landing page and continue the license renewal process by selecting the state and board again and clicking on "Renew Brokers, Salespeople and Companies."

The required module for 2021-2022 is The History of Diversity in Homeownership.

The required module for 2020 - 2021 is Minnesota Disclosure Laws.

Resident Brokers

  • It is the Primary Broker’s responsibility to verify that all of the individual licenses associated with your company are CE-compliant. 
  • Individuals can check their CE compliance on www.pulseportal.com by clicking on the “Review your CE Transcript” link. 
  • If a course has been completed but is not listed on the CE transcript, you will need to contact the course provider for assistance. The Department of Commerce cannot assist you with this issue. All completed continuing education must be uploaded by the course provider
  • It is the Primary Broker’s responsibility to provide individuals associated with your company a copy of their license. You can print the licenses directly on www.pulseportal.com by clicking the “Print Your License” link.

Nonresident Brokers

  • It is the Primary Broker’s responsibility to verify that all of the individual licenses associated with your company are CE-compliant.
  • All nonresident salespersons and brokers up for renewal this year (including those from Colorado and Wisconsin) must have completed at least 30 hours of continuing education and the required module course(s). They must then request course completion certificates from the course providers and email them to licensing.commerce@state.mn.us before the renewal deadline or the license will lapse.
    • Do not email course completion certificates until after you have completed the online renewal process. Please send one email per licensee with all of that licensee’s course completions attached. Do not send multiple emails for one licensee. Please put “Real Estate Renewal” in the subject line. Please do not send via U.S. mail because Commerce staff is working remotely.
  • All nonresident salespersons and brokers up for renewal this year who are reciprocally licensed in Iowa, North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, or Oklahoma must email a current Letter of Certification from their resident state to licensing.commerce@state.mn.us before the renewal deadline or the license will lapse. 
    • Do not email Letters of Certification until after you have completed the online renewal process. Please put “Real Estate Renewal” in the subject line. Please do not send via U.S. mail because Commerce staff is working remotely.
  • It is the Primary Broker’s responsibility to provide individuals associated with your company a copy of their license. You can print the licenses directly on www.pulseportal.com by clicking the “Print Your License” link.
