License Predetermination

A.R.S. § 41-1093 provides that a person may petition the Department of Real Estate (“Department”) for a pre-determination of whether the person’s criminal history may disqualify them from obtaining a Real Estate license.

To apply for a Predetermination, the applicant is required to complete the Disciplinary Actions Disclosure Form and provide all documentation listed on the Disclosure Document Checklist.

As required by the Disclosure Document Checklist and as appropriate, “Certified” documents must be obtained from the court in the City and/or state where the incident was heard and the conviction determined or order issued. A certified copy is a copy of a primary document that has an endorsement or certificate that this is a true copy of the primary document. It is usually affixed with a raised seal or stamp.

The applicant must provide separate detailed written statements for each disclosure and match each statement with the Court documents provided. Please carefully read each item on the Disclosure Document Checklist.

Submit the complete package as one PDF through the Message Center that includes all convictions to expedite a decision. Incomplete packages will be returned unprocessed as deficient.

At minimum, the completed package must include the:

• Disciplinary Action Disclosure Form
• All documentation required by the Disclosure Document Checklist
  • Written statements for each disclosure (include the applicant’s full name, address, phone number and email address on at least one of the written statements)
  • Copies of all Certified documents related to the disclosure
  • Copy of the front and back of a Valid Fingerprint Clearance Card from the Arizona Department of Public Safety
