Where is a real estate license typically kept?

A real estate license is typically displayed on a wall at the agency where the licensee works. This practice serves several purposes, including providing proof of licensure to clients and the public, enhancing the agency's credibility, and ensuring compliance with regulations that may require a visible license in the workplace. Keeping the license on display allows clients and prospective clients to verify that the agent is indeed licensed and operating legally within the state.

Having licenses stored in a personal file or with the local commission office does not meet the requirement for public display and verification. While individual agents may carry a copy for personal reference, the official license should be prominently displayed at the agency to align with industry standards and local regulations.
