Indiana

The Indiana Real Estate Commission is part of the Professional Licensing Agency at 402 W. Washington Street, Room W072, Indianapolis, IN 46204. Phone (317) 234-3009. Email [email protected]. Applications go through the MyLicense One portal. Statute: IC 25-34.1; fees in 876 IAC 5; postlicensing in 876 IAC 7-4; CE in 876 IAC 7-5. Pearson VUE, not PSI, delivers the exam under Candidate Handbook #091500 (March 2025) at pearsonvue.com/us/en/in/realestate.html, (800) 274-2717. Pearson replaced PSI effective March 3, 2025. Outlines #091501 are effective March 1, 2025. Walk-ins are not available, and the exam is not offered online through OnVUE.

License names are the first thing to get right: Indiana does not issue a salesperson license. IC 25-34.1-3-4.1 and the handbook require a 90-hour Commission-approved broker pre-licensing course, and both the national and state portions must be passed within one year of completing it. ReIN-Broker is 145 questions in 240 minutes, with a scaled 75 to pass, for $55: 80 scored national items plus 5 pretest, and 50 scored state items plus 5–10 pretest. The endorsement exam is ReIN-BrokerEnd: 60 questions, 90 minutes, still $55, after PLA approval; the 90-hour course is not required. Exam results are then good for one year from passing. Apply in MyLicense One for $60, then get fingerprinted at IdentoGO. A Criminal Background Check dated before the application date is invalid. PLA has cited $38.20 for the IdentoGO package; pay the current amount.

876 IAC 7-4-2 sets the postlicensing deadline: 30 hours in the first two years after issuance (6 Indiana transactions, 6 financing, 10 business planning, 5 negotiating and counseling, 1 cultural diversity and fair housing, 2 construction). Those 30 hours fully satisfy two CE years. After that, you need 12 hours every July 1–June 30. Licenses renew every three years for $60. Managing broker is a later eligibility designation: a 24-hour course, three years of active Indiana broker licensure, and the same ReIN-Broker Pearson exam. Four of the 12 CE hours must be managing-broker CE in any year you act as one.

Illinois, Ohio, and Michigan use PSI. Kentucky still uses the salesperson title. Indiana stands apart from its neighbors with broker-only entry, a 90-hour course, a Pearson exam with a scaled 75, fingerprinting after application, and 30 hours of postlicensing.
