# RECO Registration Renewal Process

<span class="s2">**Applies To:**</span> All Sales Representatives and Brokers with active RECO registration

<span class="s2">**Purpose:**</span> To ensure all agents renew their RECO registration on time to avoid suspension, fines, or termination from their real estate board (TRREB or otherwise).

---

### **Step 1: Know Your Expiry Date**

- RECO registration must be <span class="s1">**renewed every 2 years**</span>
- Your <span class="s1">**expiry date**</span> is listed on your RECO certificate and visible in your [MyRECO Certificate Portal](https://myreco.reco.on.ca/)

**Century 21 Heritage Group Ltd. recommends that you renew at least 7 days before your expiry date.**

RECO has been known to delay processing late or last-minute submissions.

---

### **Step 2: Watch for the Reminder**

- RECO sends a renewal reminder <span class="s1">**60 days prior to expiry**</span>
- An internal reminder from the brokerage will also be sent

---

### **Step 3: Complete Mandatory Continuing Education (MCE)**

Before you can renew, you must complete your <span class="s2">**MCE program**</span>, available through your MyRECO account.

- If you don’t complete the required MCE modules, you cannot submit your renewal.

---

### **Step 4: Submit Your Renewal**

Login to [myRECO](https://myreco.reco.on.ca/) and:

1. Confirm/update your contact info
2. Upload any required documents
3. Complete your MCE if not already done
4. Pay the renewal fee by credit card

**RENEW AT LEAST 7 DAYS IN ADVANCE.**

Do <span class="s2">**not**</span> wait until the day before expiry — RECO may not process it in time, even if submitted.

---

### **Step 5: Notify the Office**

Once renewed, email your new RECO Certificate to your front desk.

Your file will be updated and your board status confirmed.

---

### **If You Miss the Deadline**

If your RECO registration expires:

1. **You must IMMEDIATELY cease all trading activities.**
    
    
    - This includes marketing, showings, negotiations, or representing clients in any form.
2. **You MUST terminate from your real estate board (e.g., TRREB) within 24 hours**<span class="s1"> of expiry.</span>
    
    
    - If this is not done, the board will issue **fines** for unauthorized membership.
3. You will also be removed from:
    
    
    - Brokerage email and internal platforms
    - Board MLS® access
    - Office signage and marketing materials
4. You may request reinstatement only <span class="s1">**after RECO confirms renewal**</span>, and you have rejoined your board.

---

### **Reinstatement (After Expiry)**

If you miss the renewal window, RECO may allow reinstatement:

- You have <span class="s1">**up to 2 years**</span> to reinstate without redoing your education, but must pay applicable late fees
- The brokerage may require additional retraining or compliance sign-off before reactivation
