OAR 863-014-0062: Mailing Address, Email Address, Address Change, Service of Notice

(1) Each active, inactive and expired real estate licensee must maintain on file with the Agency a current mailing address and email address and notify the Agency within 10 calendar days of a change to a mailing or email address. (2) A forwarding address is effective as a "current mailing address" when the Agency receives notice of the forwarding address by the United States Postal Service. (3) Agency notice by mail, whether registered, certified, or regular, to the real estate licensee's current mailing address on file with the Agency constitutes service on the licensee. (4) The Agency is not required by law to send notification or correspondence by regular mail to a licensee or license applicant regarding license or application status. The Agency may send notification or correspondence to a licensee or license applicant to the email address of the licensee or applicant on file with the Agency. Failure by a licensee or applicant to receive notification or correspondence provided via email does not relieve the licensee or applicant of the responsibility to maintain a current license or complete an application process. (5) The Agency’s primary and preferred method of notification and correspondence is to the licensee or license applicant’s email address. (6) For purposes of this rule, “notification or correspondence” in (4) and (5) of this rule means: (a) Notification, correspondence or confirmation to licensees about renewal, change of license status to active or inactive, license transfers, registered business name registration and renewal, branch office registration, license reactivation, license expiration, and name and address changes. (b) Notification, correspondence or confirmation to license applicants about license application status, receipt of documents or information from third parties on license qualifications, and license issuance.
