02Step by step

How the Utah transfer works

The Utah Division of Real Estate process, step by step.

  1. 1Sign in to My License One with your UtahID.

    Use the same email the Division holds for you. RELMS was replaced in January 2025.

  2. 2Choose Change Affiliation – Agents.

    Submit it with the new firm's Utah company license number.

  3. 3Your new broker acknowledges it under Activity.

    Then your old broker completes it from Manage Roster.

  4. 4Check Verify License before you work.

    It usually updates in 1 to 2 business days.

03Watch out

Where Utah transfers get stuck

The old broker is the usual hold-up

If it is stuck, it is almost always waiting in their Manage Roster.

04Before you move

What to sort out before you switch

The state filing is the easy part. These are the things that cost agents money when they skip them.

Read your contract with your broker

Your independent contractor agreement sets your notice period, any fees you owe on the way out, and how deals that close after you leave get paid.

Listings stay with the brokerage

A listing agreement is a contract between the seller and the brokerage, not you. You can only take a listing with your old broker's written release and your seller's agreement.

Pending deals

Deals under contract usually close with your old brokerage, and your agreement decides how you are paid on them. Get it in writing before your last day.

MLS and association

Move your MLS and REALTOR® association membership to your new office so your access does not lapse.

Update every ad the same day

Signs, your website, social media and business cards must show your new brokerage once you move. State ad rules require the brokerage name.

CE and E&O

Several states will not complete a transfer while your continuing education is overdue or your errors and omissions cover has lapsed. Check both first.
