RCW 18.85.140
License fees -- Expiration -- Renewal -- Identification cards. (Effective until July 1, 2010.)

Before receiving his or her license every real estate broker, every associate real estate broker, and every real estate salesperson must pay a license fee as prescribed by the director by rule. Every license issued under the provisions of this chapter expires on the applicant's second birthday following issuance of the license. Licenses issued to partnerships, limited liability partnerships, limited liability companies, and corporations expire on a date prescribed by the director by rule, except that if the registration or certificate of authority filed with the secretary of state expires, the real estate broker's license issued shall expire on that date. Licenses must be renewed every two years on or before the date established under this section and a biennial renewal license fee as prescribed by the director by rule must be paid.

     If the application for a renewal license is not received by the director on or before the renewal date, a penalty fee as prescribed by the director by rule shall be paid. Acceptance by the director of an application for renewal after the renewal date shall not be a waiver of the delinquency.

     The license of any person whose license renewal fee is not received within one year from the date of expiration shall be canceled. This person may obtain a new license by satisfying the procedures and requirements as prescribed by the director by rule.

     The director shall issue to each active licensee a license and a pocket identification card in such form and size as he or she shall prescribe.
