Any felony during lifetime or certain misdemeanors may disqualify, but the Real Estate Board makes the final decision. Disclosing this information does not necessarily disqualify you for licensure. On the other hand, a failure to disclose information about any such behavior, with or without any felony conviction, will most likely lead to a denial of license.
You do not need to be a Virginia resident to get a real estate license in the state.
