The
process to make application to the state of Florida
for the initial license process is the following:
- Cooke
School recommends that, if at all possible,
as soon as the student decides to take the
sales associate license course or the broker
license course, the student should make application to the state. This can be accomplished by applying on-line or printing the application out and mailing the application in with a check. Students can pay the application payment on-line by credit card.
- Complete the application as honestly as you know how. DISCLOSE ALL.
- Applicant's Social Security number is required on the application.
- The application
fee to the state of Florida is
$105 for Salesperson and $115 for Broker.
- All license applicants must have their fingerprints taken to be approved to take the state exam. The total fee charged to complete this process varies by each vender, but is approximately $58. Here is a link the "Electronic Fingerprinting Information" for IMPORTANT information on this process.
- Your fingerprints can be
taken at a Pearson VUE Exam Center. Reservations
are necessary for this process. Reservations
can be completed by calling Pearson VUE at 1/877-238-8232 and making reservations or going on the Pearson VUE website and
selecting "Fingerprint Services".
The fee for the fingerprint process is

- The student needs to bring the Cooke completion certificate to the required course to the exam center not the "wall certificate".
- You must bring two forms of identification
to the center (one must be a photo ID), to gain
access to the examination room.

At
most sites there are two exam scheduled per day.
One in the morning at 8:00 A.M. and one in the
afternoon at 1:00 P.M. Exams are scheduled
Monday through Saturday. There are only a few
locations that do evening exams and Pearson VUE
does not promote it. So if that is necessary,
you will have to ask for it.
