Returning Licensees

If you were previously licensed in Alberta and now wish to return to the industry in which you were previously licensed, the licensing eligibility requirements will vary depending how long ago you were last registered with a brokerage.

Registered less than 1 year ago

No additional requirements. Contact your broker to initiate your reinstatement application, complete your application and submit it to your broker, and pay the required licensing fee.

Over 1 year

You must supply a current criminal record check. Once RECA has received and processed it, you will contact your broker to initiate your reinstatement application, complete your application and submit it to your broker, and pay the required licensing fee.

For more information about the criminal record check requirement, please refer to the Guide to Applying for a Criminal Record Check.

Over 3 years

If it has been more than 3 years since you were last registered with a brokerage, you must complete the same steps as a new licensee:

  • complete the eligibility process to be able to enrol in pre-licensing education for the industry in which you would like to become licensed
  • enrol in and successfully complete your pre-licensing education with a recognized course provider
  • supply a current criminal record check

Please visit the New Licensees section for more information on the requirements.
