Temporary License and Post-License Course (Mississippi)

A new Mississippi licensee receives a temporary license, not a permanent one, after passing the exam. It costs the same as a permanent license and is valid for one year counted from the first day of the month after issuance (§73-35-14.5). The 30-hour post-license course, including at least 24 hours of core subjects for salespersons, must be completed within 12 months; otherwise MREC automatically places the temporary license on inactive status. Temporary licenses cannot be renewed.

Exam tip
Know that the temporary license runs one year from the first of the month after issuance and cannot be renewed.
Example
A salesperson's temporary license is issued March 15, 2026, so its one-year term is counted from April 1, 2026; she must finish post-license education in time to receive a permanent license.
