Arizona real estate FAQs
Can convicted felons get real estate license in Arizona? Having a prior conviction does not necessarily disqualify you from receiving an Arizona salesperson’s license. However, The Arizona Department of Real Estate will not issue a license to any person who is currently incarcerated, paroled, or on probation. ADRE will also not issue licenses to anyone who has been convicted of a felony or misdemeanor offense such as theft, forgery, extortion, violence against another person, or crimes of moral turpitude. When you apply for your license, you will fill out the required Disciplinary Actions Disclosure Form (LI-214/244). It will ask you questions, such as if you have surrendered any professional or occupational license. The form also asks about your criminal history or if you have entered a plea agreement or a plea of nolo contendere. The form asks you to disclose if you have had any judgment or orders by any court involving fraud, dishonesty, misrepresentation, moral turpitude, while conducting any business in real estate, or if you have been convicted of a class 6 undesignated offense. Depending on your answers, you may need to submit additional documentation. Refer to the Disclosure Document Checklist Form for specifics on what you will need to include with your application.See the answer for every state
