    There is a moral turpitude clause that applies to real estate licenses. You will have to send in a copy of all the documents associated with the felony as well as a affadavit on what you have done with your life since, etc.

    It will depend on whether your licensing board feels you are a risk to the profession.

    Hello d:

    While Emland is correct, some crimes don't have a moral turpitude aspect to them. Crimes involved with STEALING, for example, ARE moral turpitude crimes, whereas drug crimes are not.

    If you have a moral turpitude offense in your background, you should seek other employment. If not, you're still going need an attorney to help you through the application process.

    You would have to get approval of it prior to even taking the test. In fact when I was in real estate school, first day, first thing they asked who had a felony arrest, and then of them, if they had not already gotten a clearance from the real estate commission, they were asked to leave the class.
