Pass the state and national portions of the salesperson licensing exam, and get fingerprinted for a background check. The exam and fingerprint appointment can be scheduled though Pearson VUE at www.pearsonvue.com.
Fingerprints can take anywhere between 1 and 12 weeks for processing.
Taking fingerprints at Pearson VUE test center, is recommended. Electronic fingerprints are processed much faster than fingerprints made on a paper card.
If you cannot have your fingerprints taken at a Pearson VUE test center, you must contact IREC (Idaho Real Estate Commission) to have a fingerprint packet sent to you. Take the fingerprint card to the nearest law enforcement agency to have your fingerprints rolled. Make sure that you and the person who is taking your prints follow the fingerprint instructions exactly.
Read the Pearson VUE candidate handbook for more information on topics covered in the exams. See the approved textbook list for resources helpful in preparing for the exams. You can download the License Law and Rules Booklet and guidelines from the IREC website.
