A licensee is about to change her business location. Which of the following should she do?

• A. Surrender her license and apply for an updated license with the correct location
• B. Submit a note to the Real Estate Program Manager
• C. Move her office but keep old license
• D. Update address online only

Answer: (A)

When a licensee changes the business location, the license must be updated to show the new principal place of business. The proper approach is to surrender the current license and apply for a new one that lists the correct location. This formal update makes the license record match where the work is actually conducted and keeps the licensing file accurate for regulatory, supervision, and client-identification purposes.

Doing nothing formal, such as just moving the office without updating the license, or sending a note to the program manager, or updating the address online only, would leave the official license information out of date. The license needs to be reissued with the new location to stay compliant.
