Which license type is described as a license for individuals who do not actively engage in real estate and must maintain it by paying fees and CE?

• A. Voluntary inactive license
• B. Involuntary inactive license
• C. Group license
• D. Professional license

Answer: (A)

When a licensee isn’t actively practicing but still wants to keep the credential, the status chosen is voluntary inactive. This means you’re not using the license to do real estate work, but you remain licensed by continuing to pay the annual fees and complete required continuing education. The idea is you can reactivate later, once you’re ready to return to practice, by meeting those CE requirements and any reactivation steps.

The other options don’t fit this scenario: involuntary inactive happens when the board places you in inactive status for failing to meet renewal requirements, not by your choice. A group license refers to a brokerage structure rather than an individual’s inactive status. A professional license isn’t a recognized Florida real estate status in this context.
