Property and Real Estate Licence — verification in NSW

Property and real estate work in New South Wales is licensed under the Property and Stock Agents Act. Class 1 licences cover licensees in charge of an agency, Class 2 licences cover agents, and assistant agents hold a certificate of registration while completing their qualifications. The scheme spans real estate sales, property management, strata management and stock and station work.

Who needs it

Real estate agents, property managers, strata managing agents, stock and station agents and assistant agents working in NSW agencies — the standard credential checked when hiring into any licensed property role.

How verification works

A register search returns the holder, the licence or certificate class, the status and the expiry date. Refchecks licence verification covers construction credentials — the White Card, High Risk Work Licences and trade licences — read from the candidate's document and confirmed against the state register in a single check. This record type sits outside that scope.
