Utah Licensing Requirements and Education
Utah sets pre-license education, examination, background-check, affiliation, and continuing-education requirements for sales agents. This chapter summarizes the path to and maintenance of a Utah sales agent license.
Pre-License Education and Exam
An applicant for a Utah sales agent license must complete the required 120-hour pre-license course from an approved provider before taking the licensing examination. The candidate must pass the exam, which covers national and Utah-specific content, and meet the Division's eligibility requirements.
Background Check and Affiliation
Applicants must submit fingerprints and pass a background check as part of qualifying for a Utah license. The sales agent license becomes active only when the agent is affiliated with a principal broker who supervises the agent's activity. Without an active principal broker, the agent may not conduct brokerage.
Continuing Education and Renewal
Utah sales agent licenses renew on a set cycle, and licensees must complete Division-approved continuing education, including required core topics, before renewing. Continuing education keeps licensees current on Utah law and practice. Letting a license lapse can require additional steps before the licensee may resume practice.
