It’s a fairly simple process. There are only a few steps that you will need to take in order to renew your Illinois real estate license:
- Complete the required real estate continuing education at any accredited and approved real estate school, like Illinois Brokers Academy.
- Go to eLicensing on the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation (IDFPR) by April 30, 2023 and enter your course completion numbers.
- Pay the real estate license renewal fee.
REQUIRED CONTINUING EDUCATION COURSES
The Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation (IDFPR), requires 45 hours of continued education. This goes the same for both salespeople and brokers. You can do our courses in the classroom, live webinars, and self-paced.
Both must take 12 hours of approved CE courses. They must take a 4 hour in-class Core course; a 1-hour in-class Sexual Harassment course (Information Professionals Sex H. course is 2 hours) and 6 hours of elective courses (elective hours can be either home study or in-class).
You will learn applied brokerage principles, risk management, and discipline and transactional issues during your elective hours.
GO TO ELICENSING
When you’re ready to renew, you can complete the process using eLicensing on the IDFPR website. You are eligible to renew as early as 2-3 months before your license expiration date. The eLicensing system will take you step-by-step through the renewal process.
This is where you will enter your course completion numbers to validate that you satisfied the educational requirement.

PAY THE REAL ESTATE LICENSE RENEWAL FEE
After you have successfully entered the course completion numbers, you will be directed to pay your renewal fee. You can also do this from eLicensing.
Once you have paid, if you hold a salesperson license, the system will notify your broker of record who will certify your license.
