Background Check


You must register and complete a Criminal Background Check by going to the Nebraska State Highway Patrol website and making an appointment at a location near you. Tell them this is for the Nebraska Real Estate Commission. No previous background checks (Employment, CCW, etc.) can be used for your real estate application.


  • This will be a Fingerprint-based background check.

  • In order to complete your real estate license application, you will be required to provide a written statement covering all legal actions or charges against you, no matter how long ago or whether dismissed or not, and any convictions for misdemeanors or felonies, including pending charges for any misdemeanors or felonies. Please note that even if any charges have been dismissed or a conviction has been expunged from your records, you must still disclose this information on your real estate license application.

  • The Nebraska Real Estate Commission (NREC) may require a meeting with any applicant to review and discuss the applicant's background check before approving the application.
