Renewing your Missouri real estate license is an important part of maintaining an active and compliant career in real estate. Like most states, Missouri requires licensed agents and brokers to complete continuing education (CE) before renewing their license. The good news is that the process is straightforward—especially when you complete your CE through a trusted provider like License EDU.
If you’re approaching your renewal deadline, here’s everything you need to know about renewing your Missouri real estate license.
When Missouri Real Estate Licenses Must Be Renewed
Missouri real estate licenses are renewed every two years. Salesperson licenses expire on September 30 of even-numbered years, while broker licenses expire on June 30 of even-numbered years.
To keep your license active, all continuing education must be completed and reported before your renewal deadline. Planning ahead is important. Waiting until the final weeks before your renewal date can create unnecessary stress and leave little time to complete required courses.
Missouri Continuing Education Requirements
To renew your license in Missouri, the Missouri Real Estate Commission requires 12 hours of continuing education during each renewal cycle, including a mandatory core course which changes each cycle. For the current 2024-2026 cycle, the Missouri core course is NAR Fair Housing. This three-hour course provides real estate professionals with a modern, practical understanding of fair housing obligations and the broader systems that shape equitable access to housing.
At License EDU, our complete 12-hour CE course package includes:
- 3 hours of Missouri NAR Fair Housing
- 3 hours of Missouri NAR Ethics
- 3 hours of Missouri Property Management
- 3 hours of Missouri Real Estate Financing

Step-by-Step: How to Renew Your Missouri Real Estate License
Renewing your license becomes easy when you follow these simple steps.
1. Complete Your Continuing Education
Start by enrolling in a state-approved provider like License EDU and completing the required 12 hours of CE.
Our Missouri Real Estate Continuing Education courses allow you to finish your hours online and at your own pace.
2. Ensure Your CE Credits Are Reported
After completing your courses, License EDU will report your credits to the state licensing system. Once those credits appear in the system, you’re ready to proceed with your license renewal.
3. Submit Your Renewal Through Missouri’s Online Portal
Next, log into Missouri’s online licensing portal to submit your renewal application. You will confirm your information and verify that your continuing education has been completed.
4. Pay the Renewal Fee
During the renewal process, you’ll also pay the required license renewal fee. Once payment and CE verification are complete, your license will be renewed for the next two-year cycle.
What Happens if You Miss Your Renewal Deadline?
If you fail to complete your CE or renew your license before your expiration date, your license may become inactive. While inactive, you cannot legally practice real estate in Missouri until your license is reinstated.
In some cases, additional fees or steps may be required to reactivate your license, which is why completing your continuing education early is always recommended.
