Oklahoma real estate license and CE requirements
What the Oklahoma Real Estate Commission asks of licensees, with a link to the official source for every figure.
Last reviewed October 15, 2026. Next review due October 2027.
Oklahoma renews every three years and asks for 30 hours of continuing education. For sales associates the required portion includes 6 hours of contracts and forms, 3 hours of professional conduct, and an hour each of the Broker Relationships Act, code and rules, fair housing and a hot topic.
Resident Oklahoma brokers take a 15-hour Broker in Charge course every renewal, plus contracts and forms. New licensees begin as provisional sales associates and must complete a 45-hour post-license course before the provisional license expires. Nonresident licensees need only 8 hours.

Rules change. The Oklahoma Real Estate Commission is the only authority on what you need to renew; where this page and the official source disagree, the official source is right. Blank figures say "Check with the Oklahoma Real Estate Commission" because we could not confirm them from an official source.
