Continuing-education requirements for Real Estates in Missouri

Active salespersons must complete 12 hours of approved continuing education each two-year renewal cycle, of which at least 3 hours must be an approved REQUIRED CORE course (per 20 CSR 2250-10.100). For the current 2026-2028 renewal period the mandated CORE topic is Fair Housing; a licensee may take additional CORE hours and may even satisfy all 12 hours with CORE courses if desired. CE hours must be completed within the cycle window (e.g., the prior cycle ran October 1, 2024 through September 30, 2026) and the completed course data must be on file with MREC (schools have up to 10 days to report) before the license can be renewed. No separate first-renewal post-licensing education requirement was indicated on the renewal pages reviewed.

How to renew your Real Estate license in Missouri

Confirm your renewal deadline and current status on the Missouri Real Estate Commission (MREC), within the Missouri Division of Professional Registration, Department of Commerce and Insurance portal.

Keep proof of CE and your renewal confirmation for your records.

Good to know: Salesperson renewal fee is $65 (brokers/entities/professional corporations are $75). Late/delinquency fee is $50 per month or partial month up to a $200 maximum, and is not prorated. Online renewal is handled through the state's MO PRO (MOPRO) portal at pr.mo.gov; in addition to the renewal fee, a MOPRO convenience fee and a card-processing vendor fee apply. A completed-online-renewal confirmation only means the renewal was received, not that the license is renewed; licensees should verify the new 2028 expiration via the Commission's Licensee Search. The Commission warned of a possible system issue affecting how CE hours are calculated/displayed and advised licensees to verify CE completion against their own records. MREC tracks CE through its own database/MOPRO system rather than CE Broker. Late renewals can still be submitted online.
