Q: I am a recently married sales associate. I’ve decided to legally change my name to my married name. Am I required to change my name on my sales associate license?
A: Yes. Rule 61J2-9.007, Florida Administrative Code, provides that when there’s been a legal name change, the licensee shall file a request for the real estate license to be reissued in the new name. For a new license to be reissued, a copy of the legal document that legally changed the name (marriage license in this case) must be included in this request.
