Which of the following must be provided when registering a Real Estate Brokerage Corporation with the DBPR?

• A. Proof of legal entity
• B. Names of all officers and directors
• C. A letter of intent from the corporate secretary
• D. Proof of legal entity and names of all officers and directors must be registered

Answer: (D)

When a Real Estate Brokerage Corporation registers with the DBPR, the department needs to verify two essential things: that the corporate entity actually exists and is legally formed, and who will be responsible for running the corporation. Providing proof of legal entity—such as the articles of incorporation or corporate charter—shows the entity is legally authorized to operate. Providing the names of all officers and directors identifies who has control and can be held accountable for compliance with real estate laws and licensing rules.

A letter of intent from the corporate secretary isn’t a standard registration requirement and doesn’t establish the entity’s existence or identify who manages the license. Therefore, the necessary and sufficient submission is both proof of legal entity and the names of all officers and directors. This is why the correct approach is to provide both.
