# MLS Data access with a parked license

# **Overview**

MLS® data access requires an active license status. A parked license is not actively valid, which means MLS® membership is on hold during this time.

# **Understanding Parked Licenses and MLS® Access**

A parked license means your real estate license is held with a broker but is in an inactive status. MLS® access is reserved for professionals with active, valid real estate licenses who are currently authorized to practice.

## **Why MLS® Access Requires an Active License**

MLS®s provide data access to professionals who hold active real estate licenses because:

* **MLS® membership requirements** - Most MLS®s require an active real estate license as a condition of membership. Membership becomes available once your license returns to active status.
* **Professional standing** - MLS® data is intended for use by actively practicing real estate professionals who are bound by professional standards and regulations.
* **Legal authorization** - Access to MLS® data is tied to your legal authorization to practice real estate, which becomes available when your license is activated.

# **Regaining MLS® Access**

To regain access to MLS® data, you'll need to:

1. **Activate your license** - Transfer your license from parked status to active status with a participating broker.
2. **Establish MLS® membership** - Once your license is active, apply for or reinstate your MLS® membership according to your local MLS® procedures.
3. **Complete membership requirements** - MLS® membership typically requires membership dues and other fees.

# **Impact on API Access**

If you're using Repliers' API services, valid MLS® credentials and an active membership are required to authorize data feeds. Once your license is activated and your MLS® membership is established, you'll be able to access MLS® data through our platform.
