Michigan License Law Practice Test

What must a non-resident applicant submit with their license application?

1. A notarized proof of residency

2. A bank statement from a Michigan bank

3. A Consent to Service of Process form

4. A copy of their real estate license from another state

The correct answer is: A Consent to Service of Process form

A non-resident applicant must submit a Consent to Service of Process form with their license application. This requirement is in place to ensure that the non-resident licensee can be reached for legal purposes, such as service of process, while conducting business in Michigan. This form effectively establishes a legal contact within the state who can accept service of documents on behalf of the applicant. The other options do not fulfill the necessary requirements for a non-resident application. While notarized proof of residency and a bank statement from a Michigan bank might be relevant for residents, they do not pertain to applicants from outside Michigan. Additionally, while having a copy of a real estate license from another state might show experience or credibility, it is not specifically mandated as part of the requirements for a non-resident to apply for a license in Michigan. Thus, the Consent to Service of Process form plays a critical role in the legal framework for non-resident real estate transactions in the state.
