Postcards containing information necessary for license renewal were mailed by the Department of Commerce to all individuals and companies who are scheduled to renew by June 30, 2009. Step-by-step instructions, given by the Department of Commerce, are shown below.

Real Estate Company and Agents Mass License Renewal
Renewing a broker, salesperson, or real estate company license is done through the Real Estate Company and Agents Mass License Renewal Process described below.

If you have not already done so, create an account with Pearson VUE. To create an account, go to www.pulseportal.com.

From the "Choose a state to begin" drop-down menu, select "Minnesota." From the "Choose a board to continue" drop-down menu, select "Real Estate." Under "Licensing Services," click on "Register for an Account." Enter your State ID and PIN and follow the instructions on the screen that appears. If you don't remember your State ID and PIN, contact the Minnesota Department of Commerce Licensing Division at 651.296.6319 or send an e-mail to Licensing.Commerce@state.mn.us with NEED STATE ID AND PIN as the subject. In the body of the message, include your company name, company license number, primary broker name, and primary broker license number. Please understand that high call volumes during peak times may lead to difficulty in getting through on the phone, and high e-mail volumes may lead to significant delays in receiving a response. Please be patient.

Do not use your browser's "Back" button at any point in the process, or you will lose all of the data that you have entered to that point and will need to start over from the beginning. In addition, please note that you may have received a postcard even if your company license does not need to be renewed until 2010. The postcard was sent to you because you have a broker or salesperson whose license you may want to renew.
