How to Apply for Renewal of Registration of Real Estate Salesperson (DHSUD)

The Department of Human Settlements and Urban Development (DHSUD), formerly called Housing and Land Use Regulatory Board (HLURB), has issued a set of revised implementing rules and regulations (IRRs) for Presidential Decree 957 in efforts to promote safe and legitimate real estate transactions in the Philippines. Under PD 957 as amended, is empowered to register real estate salesmen dealing in condominiums, farm lots, memorial parks, and subdivision projects.

Brokers and salespeople are mandated to get DHSUD accreditation or license before they can engage in Philippine real estate services.

No real estate broker or salesman shall engage in the business of selling subdivision lots or condominium units unless he has registered himself with the Authority in accordance with the provisions of Sections 11 & 12 of Presidential Decree No. 957 and Sections 13, 14, and 15 of Rule V of Implementing Rules and Regulations as Amended and Other Related Laws and Regulations of the HLURB.

If you are under the license of a real estate broker selling projects from developers then you are required to register with DHSUD too.

In November 2020, DHSUD has started to accommodate annual renewal for registration of real estate brokers and salespersons.

Here is the application process:
