To apply for a real estate business license, you need to meet the “fit and proper” guidelines issued by the Estate Agent Authority (EAA). Estate Agent Authority will explore your past criminal records including but not limited to rigging, fraud or other dishonest acts, such as theft, handling stolen goods, using false documents, leaving without payment, etc.
In other words, past criminal records will affect license applications. However, it is not absolutely impossible to successfully apply for a license with a criminal record. When processing the license applications, EAA staff will also consider whether the criminal record is related to professional character. For example, accidental driving and fighting when young may not necessarily affect the success of the application. However, there is no explicit stipulation on what can and cannot affect the application. Instead, it depends on the judgment of the staff of the EAA. After knowing that you have criminal records, the EAA may also give you a chance to defend yourself, hence having a criminal record does not necessarily mean you can never obtain a license.
However, if you really have a criminal record, you must declare it. Do not deliberately conceal it. If you do not declare but they are still discovered by the EAA, you may be rated as unreliable and unsuitable to become a licensee, and you may even commit another crime.
