Applying for a Georgia Real Estate License with a Felony, Dui, or misdemeanor
"The Real Estate Commission STRONGLY RECOMMENDS that applicants having prior criminal convictions and/or disciplinary

(4) three letters of recommendation from individuals not related to you by birth or marriage
This information will need to be sent in with your application for real estate licensure. Allow some extra time for your license to be processed due to the investigation period. The general time frame the Georgia Real Estate Commission says that this

The Commission completes the investigation, it is brought in front of the board for a vote. If the vote is in your
favor to get a Georgia Real Estate License, you will be notified by mail or phone. You will then be issued a Clearance
Letter, which must be taken to the state testing center so that you can get your license.
