      1.  The Division shall notify each applicant in writing whether the applicant passed or failed the examination.

      2.  The Division shall act upon all applications for licenses as real estate brokers, broker-salespersons or real estate salespersons within 60 days from the date of receiving the completed application for a license.

      3.  If in the opinion of the Real Estate Division additional investigation of the applicant appears necessary, the Real Estate Division may extend the 60-day period and may make such additional investigation as is necessary or desirable before acting on the applicant’s application.

      4.  The burden of proof is on the applicant to establish to the satisfaction of the Real Estate Division that he or she is qualified to receive a license.

      5.  Passing the examination creates no vested right in the applicant to hold a license pending an appeal of a denial of his or her licensing by the Division.

      6.  The Division, upon the discovery of any error in the issuance of a license which is related to the qualification or fitness of the licensee, may invalidate the license. The Division shall promptly notify the licensee, in writing, of the invalidation and the licensee shall surrender the license to the Division within 20 days after notice is sent by the Division. A licensee whose license is invalidated under this subsection and is surrendered within the time specified is entitled to a hearing as for a denial of application in accordance with the provisions of NRS 645.440.
