2022 South Carolina Updated and New Real Estate License Renewal Requirements
The current June 30, 2022 renewal deadline has new and updated renewal requirements. The South Carolina Department of Labor, Licensing, and Regulation does an excellent job at communicating to licensees about the South Carolina real estate license renewal process. Included below is one of the recent letters sent out to all licensees. Here is another article we wrote outlining the South Carolina real estate license renewal requirements for 2022.
–Begin Letter—
*** Due to a law change, fingerprint-based SLED and FBI background checks are now required in order to renew as ACTIVE for Salespersons, Brokers, Brokers-in-Charge, Property Managers, and Property Managers-in-Charge every third renewal cycle beginning this year. If you have an inactive license, you may renew as inactive without obtaining a criminal records check. However, if you decide to reactivate your license, you will be required to obtain a fingerprint-based criminal records check. ***

The online renewal application process features a proxy payment link. This will enable the licensee to email a link to a third party (such as their employer) for payment. For privacy and security purposes, the third party will only have access to information such as name, license type and number, and payment amount. The licensee is responsible for following up with the proxy to ensure payment is made timely for their renewal.
