Continuing Education Course Verification

About the RE 251 Form

The RE 251 Continuing Education Course Verification is an official form used by the California Department of Real Estate (DRE). It allows real estate salespersons, brokers, and Military Spouse Licensing Relief Act (MSLRA) registrants to certify they have completed the mandatory 45 clock-hours of approved continuing education required for license renewal.

Information Required on the Form

When completing the RE 251, you will be asked to provide the following details:

• Printed name exactly as it appears on your license or MSLRA registration
• DRE License ID or MSLRA Registration Number
• Corporation name and Officer ID (if applicable)
• Current mailing address and license effective date
• License type (Salesperson, Broker, etc.)
• Details for each completed course: 8-digit certificate number, course title, course hours, date completed, and registration date
• Original or compliant electronic signature and date

Continuing Education Requirements

All course offerings must be completed within the four-year period immediately preceding the effective date of renewal. Do not submit your continuing education certificates of attendance with this form unless specifically requested by the Department; however, you must retain them for four years.
