Illustration for Real Estate Agents Act 2008

The Registrar must cancel your licence if you die. They must also cancel it if you ask them to in writing. Your licence can be cancelled if you do not have the required qualifications. The Registrar can cancel your licence if you do not complete the required continuing education, as stated in section 15. They can also cancel it according to section 99 or section 110(2)(b). Your licence will be cancelled if it was given to you because of false information. The Registrar will cancel your licence if you do not pay the required fees or levies, or if the payment is dishonoured. They must remove your name from the register when your licence is cancelled. This is what happens when the Registrar cancels a person's licence and removes their name from the register.
