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 identication exclusively for tax purposes. These code
sections also require that each application for a new license or renewal
provides notication 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 identication 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 identication 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 specic 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).
