In order to obtain a Provisional Sales Associate Real Estate License in the state of Oklahoma, there are several important steps you must undertake. Each step serves to ensure that you are not only qualified, but also adequately prepared to enter the dynamic field of real estate.

To begin, you must meet the following basic requirements:

Be at least 18 years of age, and
Provide proof of United States citizenship or verification of qualified alien status.

Following the fulfillment of these prerequisites, the journey to your license involves a systematic process. Here’s a more detailed look at each step:

Complete a 90-hour Basic Pre-License Course.
This comprehensive course, a mandatory requirement, equips you with essential knowledge about the industry. For convenience, Barnes Real Estate School offers a 90-hour Basic Pre-License course that is fully accessible online, allowing you to learn at your own pace and convenience.
Submit your real estate license application to the Oklahoma Real Estate Commission (OREC).
After completing the course, you will need to formally apply for your real estate license. This involves completing and submitting the license application to the Oklahoma Real Estate Commission (OREC), the regulatory body for real estate in the state.
Complete a background check.
Safety and trust are integral to the real estate business, and as such, you must undergo a background check. To do this, you will need to schedule an appointment with IdentoGO, who will process your fingerprints electronically. IdentoGO will collect the $60 fee associated with the background check.
Pass the Oklahoma Salesperson exam.
Once your application is accepted, you must pass the state’s Salesperson Exam. This can be scheduled with PSI. The exam, costing $60, will test the knowledge and skills you have gained through your training. A minimum score of 70% is required for a passing grade.
Pay your license fee to the Oklahoma Real Estate Commission.
Lastly, after all these steps have been successfully completed, you will need to submit a form requesting the issuance of your active Provisional Sales Associate or Sales Associate License. This form, along with a license fee of $100, should be sent to the OREC.

This legislation requires state licensing agencies to list specific crimes that will disqualify an applicant from licensure, removes language referring to “good moral character,” and removes 858-301.1(b), the 10 year time period for license disqualification.
