Division fee is $157 total: $100 application (license_fee) + $12 recovery fund + $40 fingerprint processing + $5 FBI RAPBACK. Pearson VUE also charges for the digital fingerprint capture ($35 or $12; handbook is inconsistent), not included in fingerprint_fee. Exam $69. Must apply within 90 days of passing. Broker: 120 hrs (45 Principles + 45 Practices + 30 Utah law), 3 yrs full-time active experience within 5 yrs and 60 experience points. Broker exam item counts (80 general / 90 state, scaled 75) are as read from the handbook and look unusual; verify. E&O not required. No transfer tax (secondary source). No pass rates published.
