1 | Complete your real estate fundamentals (prelicensure) course: Your school will submit your certificate of completion to the State of Michigan. Always keep a copy for your records. You must apply for licensure within 36 months of completing your prelicensure course. |
2 | Complete and submit your real estate salesperson license application: Log onto MIPlusGo.com to apply for licensure. You don’t need to have a broker at the time you submit the application; broker information will be supplied to the State of Michigan after passing the state exam using MIPlus. Your license will remain in “pending” status with the state until broker sponsorship is confirmed. |
3 | Receive authorization to test: If no additional documentation is required, your application will be approved, and you’ll receive an email from the State in 2-5 business days notifying you of your authorization to register for the exam. This email will include your exam candidate Michigan Real Estate (MIRE) number and examination registration instructions. NOTE: You must complete all licensure requirements within one year of applying on MIPlus. Exam scores are valid for one year. |
4 | Contact PSI to schedule exam: Provide PSI with your MIRE number, then schedule and pay for your exam. The MIRE number is used only for scheduling your exam, this is NOT your license number. Your license application will remain in “pending” status with the state until broker sponsorship is confirmed and you have taken a passed exam. |

Please note: Broker applicants must complete 90 hours of courses and pass the PSI exam prior to applying for a broker’s license. |
