What is My Real Estate License Number?

With so many numbers to remember, it’s understandable if your real estate license ID slips your mind. When you meet the requirements for licensure, the state assigns you a unique license reference number. This number serves as an identifier to track your employment history, verify compliance with state requirements, and maintain accurate records.

At NJ Real Estate Referral Company, we use license numbers to onboard referral agents and manage internal records efficiently. Our streamlined, transfer process ensures that referral agents are matched to their license number when enrolling in one of our commission plans.
