GENERAL INFORMATION
By order of the Louisiana
Real Estate Commission (LREC), beginning January 1,
2012, all applicants for a real estate license must
provide a criminal background history, as part of the
initial application process.
To ensure that this information
is received in a standard, consistent format, with a
level of quality that adequately meets this
requirement, the LREC has contracted with
Acxiom Information
Security Services to conduct criminal background
history checks on each initial license applicant.
Note that obtaining your
criminal background history information is only a part
of the application process, and completion of this
requirement is not to be performed, nor will it be
accepted by the LREC, in lieu of
submitting an initial application form. See the following links for
additional information about the application process and
the forms required to complete it.
GETTING STARTED WITH ACXIOM
-
Each individual must set up an online account with
Acxiom through the contractor web site.

Log on to the internet web address:
https://aissreports.acxiom.com/consumer/contractor.asp.
-
The first time you visit the main web page, you will
enter the partner code:
LOUI3304

Skip past the login and password fields. Click on
“I am a New User.” Follow the
prompts from there.
-
You will know
that you have completed the process when prompted to
remit payment for your criminal background history.

LEGAL MATTERS
-
A
signed written release to the information contained
in your criminal background history is not required.
-
Establishing an Acxiom account and ordering your
criminal background history serves as consent for
the information contained therein to be released to
the LREC.
-
Applicants whose criminal background history
contains arrest/conviction information, or similar
negative results, maintain the right to appear
before the Louisiana Real Estate Commission to
request authorization to sit for the real estate
licensing examination.
AFTER
MY CRIMINAL BACKGROUND HISTORY IS ORDERED
-
A
copy of your criminal background history will be
emailed to you. This usually takes no more than 2-3
days.
-
Do
not send your criminal background history to the
LREC unless requested to do so.
-
Remember that ordering your criminal background
history is only part of the initial application
process. If you have not already done so, don't
forget to submit the initial application form, and
any other required documentation, to the LREC.
