Yacht brokers and salespersons undergo a background check for good moral character. They are also required to maintain a surety bond for the period of licensure, which is accessible to claims by anyone injured by neglect deceit or fraud by a licensee.

Submit an application form along with a fingerprint card, an original bond or letter of credit, and a fee of $551.00 for a two year license. This fee includes a $51.00 fingerprint processing fee. To be licensed as a broker, one must first be licensed as a salesperson for two consecutive years.

Once the section receives the application and all forms are properly filled out and signed, we issue a temporary 90 day license very rapidly so that applicants can get to work. It takes approximately 60-90 days for the FBI to process the fingerprint cards.
