The ARELLO Licensee Verification Database is designed to provide a central, “one stop” repository that will assist consumers and regulators verifying real estate licensure/registration
In 2001 ARELLO and the National Association of REALTORS® (NAR) formed a joint venture to provide a website for use by real estate practitioners and consumers to locate information about individual real estate licensees. This venture required each party to submit data to an aggregator who would combine the data for inclusion on the website. NAR will provide the NAR Member data and ARELLO would encourage member jurisdictions to provide licensee data to NAR or its vendor for aggregation.
As of October 1, 2006, the ARELLO Licensee Verification Database is maintained and hosted exclusively by ARELLO. The National Association of REALTORS® generously continues to sponsor the project. ARELLO maintains a commitment to making the database more relevant that it has ever been by helping ensure data from jurisdictions is collected and processed as fast and as efficiently as possible.
Jurisdictions can report active, inactive, and expired licenses of individuals (not companies) of various categories of real estate licensing including, but not limited to, salesperson, brokers, associate broker, and associate salesperson.
This submission of data can be made as often as the jurisdiction would prefer. ARELLO has an automated process that runs nightly that aggregates the data and can accept data as often as it is submitted. However, to keep the data in the Licensee Verification Database relevant, ARELLO would like data to be no more than one month old.
To truly make this an effective tool, data needs to be as current as possible. Therefore, where it is feasible for a jurisdiction to automate thier submission, ARELLO encourages jurisdictions to submit daily.
While ARELLO has produced a document that outlines the technical requirements of the file format that uses terminology such as “must”, "should", and “required”, we would like to have 100% participation in this process and are very flexible in the way we can receive and process this data. Participation is much more important to ARELLO than conforming to the standards mentioned in the specifications. The specifications are actually more of a guideline. Each jurisdiction has a custom written import routine that allows ARELLO to be flexible and meet the needs of each jurisdiction's data.
ARELLO can accept data any one of the following four ways.
SUBMIT VIA FTP
Uploading a file via FTP is ARELLO’s preferred method of submission. Each jurisdiction will be supplied a username and password that will provide access to a private FTP folder for that jurisdiction. Please contact us for an FTP address, username, and password.
SUBMIT VIA EMAIL
For those jurisdictions whose network policies prohibit the use of sending files via FTP, ARELLO has created an email inbox to which the file can be sent as attachment. Please contact us for the email address to which to send data files.
SUBMIT VIA CD\DVD
Some jurisdictions prefer to send the file via mail by burning the file to a CD or DVD and mailing it to:
