License Status: How do I check the license status of a broker?

Have you ever wondered if a broker’s license status was inactive? Did you know that you can check the license status of a broker on the Commission’s website?

To determine the license status of a broker:

1. go to www.ncrec.gov;
2. click on Licensing;
3. click on Brokers;
4. enter the License Number, Name, City, or County of the broker; and
5. click on Search.

The license record database on the Commission’s website now displays all brokers with an active and inactive license status. If a broker’s license is inactive, a note will be displayed at the top of their license record.

As stated, per Rule 58A .0504(a), a broker who has an inactive license status shall not engage in any activity requiring a real estate license.

See Commission Rule 58A .0504(a) for a full explanation of active and inactive license status. For more information regarding a broker’s license status, contact the Commission’s Education and Licensing Division at LS@ncrec.gov or 919.875.3700.
