Getting your Utah real estate license might seem daunting, but we’re here to guide you through the process.
Read on to learn about the 4 steps you’ll need to complete before starting your career in Utah real estate. To learn about how much it costs to get your real estate license, visit our Utah Pre-Licensing pricing page.
To start:
You must be at least 18 years of age and hold a high school diploma or its equivalent.
You must also not have had a felony in the last five years, or a misdemeanor involving fraud, misrepresentation, theft, or dishonesty within the last three years, starting from the time of conviction/plea or completion of any jail/prison sentence.
Successfully complete 120 clock-hours of approved real estate Pre-Licensing course for sales agent education. These courses must be completed no longer than one year before applying for a license. Learn more about your package options here.
If you are licensed in another state, you may qualify for an education waiver. Please contact the Utah Division of Real Estate for more information.
After you complete all the course materials, there is a final exam. The minimum passing score is 70%.
Pearson VUE administers the Utah real estate sales agent licensing exam. This test is comprised of two portions, covering both state and national requirements. For more information, see the Pearson VUE candidate information bulletin.

Once you’ve completed all license requirements and passed the Utah sales agent exam, you must create a UtahID account and submit an online application for a license, including all required documents and fees, within 90 days. If the exam was taken in Utah and you registered with Pearson Vue to be fingerprinted, when your fingerprints are taken, they will be electronically submitted to the Division. If the exam was taken outside of Utah, or you were unable to have your fingerprints taken at Pearson Vue, you will need to be fingerprinted by a police station or fingerprinting vendor of your choice on two FBI FD-258 fingerprint cards. Both cards will then need to be mailed, parcel delivered, or hand delivered to the Division of Real Estate.
