If an Indiana licensee voluntarily requests license deactivation, how long do they have to reactivate their license?

When an Indiana licensee voluntarily requests deactivation of their real estate license, they are afforded a specific time frame within which they can choose to reactivate it without having to reapply for a new license or go through additional training. In Indiana, the correct period for reactivation after deactivation is one year. This means that a licensee has up to one year from the date of deactivation to complete the necessary steps to reactivate their license. If they fail to reactivate within this time frame, they would need to start the licensing process from scratch, which can involve taking the required coursework and passing the state exam again.

The other choices indicate shorter or longer time frames that do not align with Indiana's regulations regarding license deactivation and reactivation, making them incorrect in this context. Understanding this time restriction is crucial for licensees who may be considering stepping back from active real estate practice but want the option to return within a reasonable and manageable time frame.
