Introduction
If you hold a property certificate of registration, you can add another category of work if you have completed the required qualifications.
You can add or remove categories such as stock and station agent or strata managing agent.
You can do this online —this is generally the fastest and cheapest way to add or remove a category.
For details on licence types and classes go to NSW Fair Trading Becoming a property agent.
Note: If you no longer need it you can surrender your certificate.
