CHANGE OF PERSONAL INFORMATION
Changes must be made within 10 days of change. Personal information changes to physical residence address, mailing
address, telephone number, email address, and legal presence information changes can be made online from the
Licensee’s Personal Page on the Online Licensing System at https://az.gov/app/dre/. All agents are solely responsible for
updating, changing, and monitoring their personal information pursuant to A.C.C. R4-28-303.
To file a change of personal information that cannot be done online such as a change of legal name or additional
nickname approval, complete the form, scan photo ID, and merge as one PDF document to ADRE through the
Message Center from the Licensee’s Personal Page on the Online Licensing System at https://az.gov/app/dre/ or
submit by mail or in person.
Original license applicants requesting approval for a nickname should complete this form, and submit with a license
application through the Online Licensing System, or by mail.
PROOF OF NAME CHANGE – The legal name as it appears on the Arizona Department of Real Estate License should
reflect the legal name on the document submitted as Proof of Legal Residency.
PROOF OF LEGAL PRESENCE - The 2008 Legislature enacted A.R.S. §41-1080 which requires licensing agencies,
including the Department of Real Estate (ADRE), to obtain proof of the license applicant’s legal presence in the United
States prior to issuing, renewing, or making a change to a license.
NICKNAME ADDITION – A licensee may use any derivative of the applicant's first name or middle name or a nickname that
is regularly used for advertising purposes only (A.R.S. 32-2123). The Department considers a nickname to be a familiar
version of a proper name, i.e. Jim for James or Tom for Thomas when reviewing and/or approving proposed nicknames. A
nickname or derivative of ones legal name should not be used when signing legal documents.
PC OR PLLC STATUS LICENSEES – When holding or sharing a Professional Corporation (PC) or a Professional Limited
Liability Company (PLLC) and changing a legal personal name, the PC or PLLC must be amended with the Arizona
Corporation Commission before the personal legal name change can be processed. The Designated Broker must approve
with a signature, all PC or PLLC changes on the PC/PLLC application (Form LI-231).
When more than one licensee is named on a PC or PLLC, every licensee must report the change to ADRE within 10
business days by submitting form Professional Corporation (PC) or Professional Limited Liability Company (PLLC)
(Form LI-231).
