When to Request Reinstatement of Your License

If your former Delaware license is in an Expired status, and it is past the 30-day late renewal period, you can no longer renew the license. To resume practicing in Delaware, you must apply for reinstatement of licensure in the DELPROS online portal.

Types of Expired Licenses

If an expired license you previously held begins with:

RB (Broker), RA (Associate Broker) or RS (Salesperson), these are the current license types, if reinstated and approved, will remain the same type and number.
R1, R2, R3, or R4, these license types were replaced as a result of legislation effective 2/3/2012.
