The DCRA licensing platform is in the process of switching to a new system, so there is currently no way to confirm course completion/earned hours. GCAAR is awaiting resolution and will continue to retain your records for when reporting becomes available, as instructed by the Commission. Please continue to account for your course completion certificates received as a D.C. licensee. Thank you for your patience and we will be in communication when more information is made available to GCAAR. More information for D.C. licensees is available here.
License renewals in the District of Columbia are on a two-year cycle, in every odd numbered year: February 28 for brokers and property managers and August 31 for sales agents.
An applicant for renewal of any license that expires on February 28 or August 31, must submit proof of completing approved continuing education (CE) credit in the following subjects:
