What changed for the Arizona real estate license in 2026

  • Pre-licensing requirement: candidates must complete a 90-hour ADRE-approved Salesperson Pre-Licensing Course (completed within 10 years of applying) before sitting the license exam. (source)
  • Exam structure per the current Pearson VUE Candidate Handbook (February 2026): the National/General portion is 80 scored questions plus 5 unscored pretest items (85 total) in 150 minutes, and the Arizona State-specific portion is 60 scored questions plus 5 pretest items (65 total) in 90 minutes — 240 minutes (4 hours) combined when both are scheduled together. You need 75% correct on each portion to pass. (source)
  • The Arizona state-specific exam content outline was updated effective January 1, 2026 (the National/General outline is effective April 1, 2025). (source)
  • Pearson VUE exam fees: $60 for the State-specific portion alone, $70 for the General portion alone, or $75 combined when both are scheduled back-to-back (combo discount). (source)
  • Original ADRE license application fee for salespersons: $50 license fee + $10 Real Estate Recovery Fund = $60 total; the application must be submitted within one year of passing the exam. (source)
  • Before licensure, candidates must also complete a separate 6-hour Arizona Contract Writing Course (beyond the 90-hour pre-licensing course) and submit a Fingerprint Clearance Card issued by the Arizona Department of Public Safety (AZDPS). (source)
  • New for 2025-2026: beginning January 1, 2025, ADRE license renewals require 1 continuing-education hour each in Firewise, Deed Fraud, and Arizona Water topics (3 added CE hours) on top of the standard renewal requirements. (source)

Last verified: September 24, 2026 against the Arizona Department of Real Estate (azre.gov) and the Pearson VUE Arizona Real Estate Candidate Handbook.
