RECO MyWeb Portal Guide: How to Apply & Track Your License

RECO's MyWeb portal is the online system where all Ontario real estate professionals manage their registration with the Real Estate Council of Ontario. Whether you are just starting the education program or are an experienced agent renewing your licence, MyWeb is where you handle it. This guide walks you through every step.

What Is RECO MyWeb?

MyWeb is RECO's secure online portal at myweb.reco.on.ca. It is the central hub for:

• Applying for the salesperson or broker education program
• Tracking your education and course completion
• Applying for registration (your real estate licence)
• Renewing your registration
• Checking your current licence status
• Updating your personal and brokerage information
• Completing mandatory continuing education requirements

Step 1: Creating Your MyWeb Account

Before you can begin the Ontario real estate education program, you need to register with RECO through MyWeb.

1. Go to myweb.reco.on.ca and select "New User Registration"
2. Enter your personal information (legal name, date of birth, address, email)
3. Create a secure password — save your login credentials somewhere safe, as you will use this account throughout your career
4. Verify your email address through the confirmation link RECO sends you
5. Once verified, you can log into MyWeb and begin the application process

Step 2: Applying for the Salesperson Education Program

After creating your account, the next step is to apply for the salesperson program. This tells RECO you intend to pursue your real estate licence.

1. Log into MyWeb and navigate to the "Education" or "Applications" section
2. Select "Apply for Salesperson Education Program"
3. Pay the application fee (approximately $75 — see our licence cost breakdown for full details)
4. Once approved, RECO will notify Humber Polytechnic, and you can enroll in Course 1

This step is required before Humber will allow you to register for your first course. Some students try to sign up for Humber courses directly and run into issues — always start with RECO MyWeb first.

Once enrolled at Humber, our Course 1 study guide condenses the 1,500+ page textbook into focused notes, helping you pass your first exam on the first try.

Step 3: Tracking Your Education Progress

As you complete each Humber course, your results are reported to RECO and appear in your MyWeb account. You can use MyWeb to:

• View completed courses — See which of the 4 pre-registration courses you have passed
• Check exam results — Your pass/fail status for each course appears here
• Monitor deadlines — RECO sets a timeframe for completing the education program (currently within a set number of years from starting)
• Track simulation completion — Your simulation exam results are also recorded

Step 4: Applying for Salesperson Registration

Once you have passed all required Humber courses and simulation exams, you can apply for your actual registration (your licence to practice).

1. Log into MyWeb and navigate to "Apply for Registration"
2. Complete the registration application, which includes:
   • Personal background information
   • Criminal record disclosure
   • Financial solvency declaration
   • Brokerage affiliation (you must have a brokerage willing to employ you before RECO will issue your registration)
3. Pay the registration fee
4. Submit any required supporting documents (criminal record check, identification)
5. Wait for RECO to process your application (typically 2-4 weeks)

For a complete overview of the post-exam process, see our guide on what happens after passing your real estate exam.

Step 5: Renewing Your Registration

Once registered, you must renew your RECO registration regularly:

• Renewal period: Registration must be renewed every 2 years
• Continuing education: You must complete mandatory continuing education courses before renewal
• Insurance: RECO verifies that you have the required insurance coverage
• Fees: Renewal fees are paid through MyWeb

MyWeb will send you email reminders as your renewal deadline approaches. Do not let your registration lapse, as practicing without a current registration is a serious regulatory violation.

Checking Your Licence Status

You can check the registration status of any Ontario real estate professional (including yourself) through RECO's public registrant search. This is useful for:

• Confirming your own registration is active and in good standing
• Verifying another agent's credentials before working with them
• Checking which brokerage an agent is registered under

Common MyWeb Issues and Solutions

Forgotten Password

Use the "Forgot Password" link on the MyWeb login page. RECO will send a reset link to your registered email address. If you no longer have access to that email, contact RECO directly.

Course Results Not Appearing

It can take several business days for Humber to report your exam results to RECO. If your results have not appeared after a week, contact Humber first to confirm your results were submitted, then contact RECO if needed.

Application Delays

Registration applications typically take 2-4 weeks. Delays often occur when supporting documents are missing or when background checks require additional review. Ensure you submit all required documents upfront to avoid delays.

MyWeb Tips for Students

1. Create your RECO MyWeb account early — Do this before enrolling in any Humber courses
2. Keep your email current — RECO communicates important deadlines and updates via email
3. Save your login credentials — You will use this portal throughout your entire career
4. Check MyWeb after each exam — Verify that your course completions are being recorded accurately
5. Start your brokerage search early — You need a brokerage affiliation before RECO will issue your registration

While you navigate the RECO registration process, make sure you are prepared for your Humber exams. Our study guides cover all four pre-registration courses with practice exam questions and condensed notes. See how much it all costs to plan your budget.
