Department of Real Estate Assistant Commissioner

1651 Exposition Blvd. Licensing & Administration

Sacramento, CA 95815 Telephone: 877-373-4542

General powers of the Commissioner, Sections 10050, 10071, and 10075

of the Business and Professions Code authorizes the maintenance of this

information.

Business and Professions Code Sections 30, 31(e) and 494.5(d) require

each real estate licensee to initially provide to the Department of Real

Estate his or her social security number which will be furnished to the

Franchise Tax Board. The Franchise Tax Board will use your number

to establish identication exclusively for tax purposes. These code

sections also require that each application for a new license or renewal

provides notication on the application, that the Board of Equalization

and the Franchise Tax Board will share taxpayer information with the

Department of Real Estate, and that failure to pay tax obligations may

result in a suspension or denial of a license. The Board of Equalization

and Franchise Tax Board require the Department to collect social

security numbers and federal taxpayer identication numbers for the

purposes of matching the names of the 500 largest tax delinquencies

pursuant to Section 7063 or 19195 of the Revenue and Taxation Code.

Your social security numbers and federal taxpayer identication number

shall not be deemed public records and shall not be open to the public

for inspection.

The Real Estate Law and the Regulations of the Commissioner require

applicants to provide the Department with specic information. If all

or any part of the required information is not provided, processing may

be delayed. In addition, the Commissioner may suspend or revoke a

license, or in the case of a license applicant, may deny the issuance for

misstatements of facts (including a failure to disclose a material fact) in

an application for a license.

The information requested in this form is primarily used to furnish

license status information to the Department’s Enforcement Section, and

to answer inquiries and give information to the public on license status,

mailing and business addresses and actions taken to deny, revoke, restrict

or suspend licenses for cause.

This information may be transferred to real estate licensing agencies

in other states, law enforcement agencies (City Police, Sheriff’s

Departments, District Attorneys, Attorney General, F.B.I.), and any

other regulatory agencies (i.e., Department of Business Oversight,

Department of Insurance, Department of Consumer Affairs, California

Bar Association).

APPLICANT INSTRUCTIONS

Fingerprint Requirement

One set of classiable electronic ngerprints is required from

every real estate license applicant. The ngerprint process is

completed by a live scan service provider as noted below.

One set of classiable electronic ngerprints is also required

by licensees who hold a restricted license and who are

petitioning for removal of restrictions or by individuals who

have had their real estate license revoked and are petitioning

for reinstatement of their license.

Applicants have the option of getting their ngerprints taken

either after passing their examination or after they have

submitted their examination application. However, ngerprint

processing fees are not refunded if an applicant fails to pass

the examination.

Out of state residents either need to make arrangements to

get their ngerprints taken at a live scan service provider

in California or get ngerprinted out of state using the FBI

Applicant Fingerprint Card (FD-258 Rev. 5/99). A ngerprint

card will be provided to all out of state applicants with the

original license application. It should be taken to a local law

enforcement agency for completion and submitted directly to

DRE with the completed license application, license application

fee, and $49.00 ngerprint card processing fee. Applicants

who wish to get their ngerprints taken out of state after

submitting their examination application, but before passing

their examination, may request a blank ngerprint card by

contacting the Licensing Section at 1-877-373-4542.

The electronic ngerprint service provider will complete Part

3 of the form.

After you have your ngerprints taken by the live scan service

provider, a completed copy of this form must be submitted

with your original license application or petition application

(RE 506). If you choose to get your ngerprints taken before

passing your examination, submit a completed copy of this

form to the Department of Real Estate, P.O. Box 137002,

Sacramento, CA 95813-7002, Attn: Fingerprint Desk.

Avoid Potential Denial of Your

License Application

A background investigation is conducted on all license applicants

and disclosure of a conviction or failure to disclose a conviction

may result in a recommendation of denial of a license. If your

application for a license is denied, your license fees will not be

refunded.

Denial of a license may be recommended for the following reasons:

 Failure to disclose pending criminal charges, criminal convictions, or disciplinary action taken

against a business, professional license, certificate or permit by an agency in California, another

state or by the Federal government.

 Conviction of a felony and the felony is substantially related to the qualifications, functions and

duties of a real estate licensee.

 Conviction of a misdemeanor and the conviction is substantially related to the qualifications,

functions and duties of a real estate licensee.

 Administrative action taken against a business, professional license, certificate or permit by an

agency in California, another state or by the Federal government.

 A determination that the facts of a particular case warrant denial, such as the nature or severity of

the act or the presence of aggravating factors.

The most common disqualifying convictions are listed below; however this list is not all-

inclusive:

 Assault with intent to commit rape

 Bribing public officer or employee

 Burglary

 Conviction that requires registration

pursuant to Section 290 of the Penal Code

 Criminal conspiracy

 Embezzlement

 Extortion

 Filing a false police or fire report

 Forgery

 Fraud

 Grand theft

* Definition of “Conviction”



Murder

 Obtaining money by false pretenses

 Perjury



Sexually related conduct affecting a person who is

an observer or non consenting participant

 Perjury



Petty theft

 Possession of drugs for sale or transport

 Soliciting a lewd act from a minor or non

consenting adult.



Tax evasion

“Convicted” includes a verdict of guilty by judge or jury, a plea of guilty, a plea of nolo contendere (i.e., “no contest"),

or a forfeiture of bail in the courts (including military courts) of any state, commonwealth, possession or country. All

convictions must be disclosed, no matter how long ago they occurred, and even if the plea or verdict was set aside,

the conviction dismissed or expunged under Penal Code Section 1203.4, or you have been pardoned. Convictions

occurring while your were a minor (under 18 years of age) must be disclosed unless the record of the conviction has been

sealed under Section 1203.45 of the California Penal Code or Section 781 of the California Welfare and Institutions Code.

Read the questions on the application carefully and answer truthfully and completely. Failure to disclose disciplinary

actions, criminal convictions or pending criminal charges which occurred in your entire history may be considered an

attempt to obtain a license by fraud or misrepresentation. Irrespective of any advice that may be received from others, the

license applicant alone is responsible for disclosing accurate and complete information.
