A broker or corporation is authorized to conduct business only at the address listed on his/her license. If the broker or corporation maintains more than one place of business within the State, he/she shall apply for and procure an additional license for each branch office so maintained. The branch office address must be a physical California address, not just a Post Office Box or a Private Mail Box, as the main office address. The broker or officer may use eLicensing to add or cancel a branch office location associated with their license.

The branch offices will display on the Public License Information page of the license.

Please note:

• A branch office license cannot be issued to a P.O. Box.
• A branch office address is not the same as the main office address.
• A branch office is located within California.
• The branch office addresses cannot be amended. The old/incorrect address must be canceled and the new one added.
• If a street address is unavailable, indicate the physical location (i.e. the nearest intersection and the distance to it).
• Branch office licenses and fictitious business names are not associated with each other except through the broker or corporation officer license. Once added to an individual broker license or corporation officer license, a fictitious business name may be used at any or all locations that are currently licensed to this individual broker or corporation.
• All branch office locations are automatically canceled if the individual broker or corporation license is renewed on a late basis. The branch offices will need to be re-added to the appropriate license by the broker or corporation.
