Florida Broker Practice Exam

Which of the following can be grounds for the denial of an applicant's request for licensure?

1. Failure to provide a valid social security number

2. Not answering questions completely

3. Failure to provide a resume

4. Having a criminal record

The correct answer is: Not answering questions completely

The correct answer pertains to the requirement that an applicant must provide complete and accurate information on their application for licensure. Not answering questions completely can hinder the regulatory body's ability to assess the applicant's qualifications and eligibility. Incomplete answers may raise concerns about transparency, honesty, and the applicant's judgment, potentially leading to the denial of the request for licensure. While having a valid social security number is a requirement (making option A a valid reason for denial), and a criminal record can lead to a denial based on the nature and severity of the offense, these specific contexts are more about meeting mandatory criteria or assessing moral character rather than a procedural issue found in option B. Similarly, failing to provide a resume (option C) may be unfortunate but does not hold the same weight as failing to provide complete answers to application questions, which is essential for the licensing process.
