Real estate education

you meet the continuing education requirements described on page 2, sign and date below and return this
form with the appropriate fees. We will continue to conduct random audits which require proof of education
completion before you can be renewed.
I declare under penalty of perjury under the law of Washington that the foregoing is true and correct and
that I have taken the required hours of approved real estate education, including 3 hours of core curriculum
according to WAC 308-124A-785 and 308-124A-790. I will provide proof of education completion to the
Department of Licensing if requested to do so. I am aware that if I am unable to verify that the hours were
successfully completed, I may be subject to disciplinary action against my real estate broker license.
