Change Georgia License Information

Georgia licensees are responsible for keeping the Commission record current. Contact information may be updated through available online services, while legal-name, active-status, inactivation, transfer, and broker-role changes can require specific documents and broker signatures.

Facts checked against the current PSI Candidate Information Bulletin and GREC sources. Last reviewed August 2, 2026. Editorial standards.

What is the direct answer?

Use GREC online services for supported contact updates and the current Change Application for status or affiliation changes. Update residence, mailing, and email information promptly, select the correct license section, obtain required releasing and affiliating broker signatures, and verify the processed record.

Which official Georgia topic does this cover?

Maintaining current licensee information and changing salesperson or broker status and affiliation.

What is the Georgia-specific distinction?

The Rule

A license transfer is not just a profile edit. The current firm releases the licensee and the new firm affiliates the licensee through the Commission's process. Brokerage activity should pause whenever active affiliation is not confirmed.

The complete lesson

Match the task to the channel. Simple contact changes can be supported online, while a legal name may need documentation and status or firm changes use the Commission's current application.

A salesperson transfer involves both sides of the affiliation. Do not assume that resigning from the old firm automatically activates the license at the new one.

Keep proof of submission and check the public record after processing. An emailed form or signed contractor agreement does not by itself prove the Commission record changed.

What should you do, in order?

  1. Identify whether the change is contact, legal name, status, or affiliation.
  2. Use the current GREC service or form.
  3. Obtain every required broker signature.
  4. Keep the submission confirmation and signed copy.
  5. Verify the public record before resuming brokerage under a new affiliation.

Worked example: Moving firms without a licensing gap

Dana signs with a new firm on Friday but the old broker has not completed the release and GREC still shows the old affiliation.

Dana does not treat the new contract as license activation. Dana completes the release and affiliation process, then verifies the updated active record before working under the new firm.

Common traps

  • Believing a resignation email transfers the license.
  • Using an obsolete form.
  • Performing brokerage while the public record shows inactive or the wrong affiliation.
