License mobility
Reciprocity, endorsement, and recognition
You do not transfer a real estate license the way you transfer a car title. You apply to the destination commission, which may waive education, one exam section, both, or nothing. This directory covers the mobility rules attached to every state’s entry credential.
The words are not interchangeable
Mutual recognition is Florida’s product: qualifying nonresidents from Alabama, Arkansas, Connecticut, Georgia, Illinois, Kentucky, Mississippi, Nebraska, or Rhode Island sit a 40-question Florida law exam (30 to pass). Residents of a listed state do not qualify. Endorsement is what Illinois calls its 2026 path. Reciprocal licenses and Act 41 are Pennsylvania terms. Waivers at NCREC can remove the 75-hour course and a national section while still leaving an applicant provisional. California DRE and New York DOS currently publish no interstate reciprocity compact.
Experience often refuses to travel
Texas’s 2026 broker grid is four years and 720 points. California wants two years full-time in five (or a real-estate degree). Florida wants 24 months active in five. Georgia wants three of the last five. Pennsylvania scores three years on charts and will not recycle salesperson credits into 240 broker hours. New York broker experience is two years as a salesperson or three years general real estate with DOS points, age 20. Illinois managing broker wants two of the last three years as an Illinois broker. Counting “years in the business” on a résumé is not a substitute for the destination chart.

- 15
- jurisdictions publish named reciprocity, recognition, or waiver paths for specific states
- 36
- publish no named partner list — out-of-state applicants rely on general waiver or endorsement rules, or start over
Alabama
AREC reciprocal salesperson license (handbook + Rule 790-X-1-.18): six hours of Commission-approved Alabama coursework, then the $53 state-only Pearson VUE exam (40 scored + 5–10 pretest, 1 hour, scaled 70), plus a certification of licensure from the state where you originally passed a full exam. You must hold a current license in another state. This is not Florida mutual recognition and not a national compact. Military spouses have a separate AREC reciprocal option. A Florida sales associate certificate does not by itself make you an Alabama salesperson.
Alaska
Alaska licenses out-of-state licensees by endorsement rather than through reciprocity agreements with named states. You need an active license elsewhere plus work in the profession within six months, and you take the Alaska out-of-state recognition exam. Education: your original prelicensing (≤24 months) plus the 6-hour Alaska-law segment, or the entire 40-hour Alaska course. License history from every jurisdiction must be sent directly. Vermont’s equivalence chart lists Alaska as not equivalent for broker education; that is Vermont’s rule, not Alaska’s.
Arizona
Arizona does not offer reciprocity. ADRE's How to Obtain a License page describes Out-of-State License Recognition under A.R.S. § 32-4302: you must be currently licensed for at least one year, have completed approved education in the other state, have passed a license examination there, and have no revocation, voluntary surrender, or pending complaint. The salesperson recognition page requires the State-Specific Pearson exam only and a license history of at least one year. Arizona residents submit proof of residency; non-residents submit a 27-hour pre-licensure certificate. You still need the 6-hour Contract Writing course within 2 years, the DPS card, and proof of legal presence. Under A.R.S. § 32-2124(J), a current equivalent out-of-state licensee is exempt from the national portion. Under A.R.S. § 32-2124(N), the commissioner shall require a § 32-4302 out-of-state applicant to pass an examination specific to Arizona law. The Licensing FAQ still says you must be an Arizona resident; the dedicated recognition page, which is more specific, offers the 27-hour option for non-residents. Military-spouse exam waiver: A.R.S. § 32-4302(A), requested through the Licensing Division Message Center (How to Obtain a License page). A California DRE score, a Colorado PSI score, or a Nevada NRED exam does not replace the Arizona state exam.
Arkansas
Arkansas does not have a named-partner reciprocity list. Under Reg 4.2(d), a salesperson currently licensed in another state who passed a uniform/general/multi-state exam with a passing score no lower than Arkansas's scaled 70 may request a waiver of the GENERAL portion and sit only the Arkansas law portion. Nonresidents who do not qualify for that waiver still need the 60 hours. Charts claiming "reciprocity with 12 states" are not AREC sources; contact AREC for your options.
California
California has no real estate license reciprocity with Texas, Florida, New York, Illinois, Georgia, Pennsylvania, or North Carolina. An out-of-state licensee must complete DRE statutory courses (or qualify for an exemption), pass the California exam, and complete Live Scan. DRE will not accept a Pearson VUE or PSI score from another state in lieu of its own exam.
Colorado
PSI offers a Reciprocal Licensure state-only exam (74 questions, 53 correct, 110 minutes). The exam is not waived, and an out-of-state salesperson license does not convert automatically, because Colorado has no salesperson title. Confirm the current out-of-state and attorney requirements with the Division. Out-of-state salesperson years still do not count toward independent or employing upgrades.
Connecticut
DCP's Reciprocal page applies to a broker or salesperson actively licensed by examination in a reciprocal state. DCP publishes its List of Reciprocal States on that page; check that list rather than relying on third-party charts. Prerequisites: an active license in good standing in a reciprocal state; having passed that state’s licensing examination when obtaining the license; and, for salespersons, a supervising broker who holds an active Connecticut broker license. Applicants from Florida, Illinois, Indiana, or Ohio, and any applicant who has not taken the real estate licensing examination in a reciprocal state, must pass the Connecticut state portion at PSI after DCP approval. Required: a certification of license history received directly from the reciprocal state confirming the license was issued by examination, plus certifications from every other state where you have been licensed. Salesperson reciprocal fees total $670 ($80 application + $570 initial license + $20 Guaranty Fund). Broker reciprocal fees total $1,270 ($120 + $1,130 + $20). Application fees are non-refundable. Reciprocity gets you the license but does not waive Connecticut CE; ONLY CT-approved courses count, including for reciprocal licensees.
Delaware
Delaware has no named-partner reciprocity list. If you hold an active salesperson license in another jurisdiction, you sit the Delaware-law Pearson portion (with a Client Waiver for the general portion) plus (a) the Delaware-law portion of the pre-licensing course, or (b) another jurisdiction’s salesperson course of at least 99 hours, or (c) three years continuous licensure plus 20 sales or lease transactions (not timeshare, not property management) on the Sales or Lease Transaction Listing form. Reciprocal licensees skip the 12-hour new-salesperson modules (2900 § 14.13). Pocket cards are not license verifications; those letters come from the other jurisdiction, dated within 30 days.
District of Columbia
Named paths: Virginia, Maryland
Florida
Named paths: Georgia, Illinois
Georgia
Named paths: Florida
Hawaii
GENINFO: "Hawaii does not reciprocate with any other state or country." The Commission instead issues (1) Prelicensing Education Equivalency Certificates under HAR §16-99-37 and (2) Equivalency to the Uniform Section of the Examination for a current out-of-state licensee who already passed that state's uniform portion — the candidate still sits the 50-item Hawaii state section and still needs a current School Completion or education-equivalency certificate. Land Court and HARPTA are not waived by a California, Washington, or Alaska score report.
Idaho
Idaho does not list reciprocity partner states. Active out-of-state licensees may request an exam waiver that removes the national portion and prelicense modules; they still take the Idaho portion (exam-waiver form at dopl.idaho.gov/rec). Create your Pearson account first. For other waivers, email a request under the Special Consideration Policy with the suggested documentation; incomplete requests are not considered. A Nevada 120-hour or Utah sales agent certificate does not count as Module 1 + Module 2 without that waiver. CE earned in another jurisdiction can be submitted through DOPL Online Services (online courses must be ARELLO-certified; processing takes up to 60 days).
Illinois
Named paths: Florida
Indiana
License by endorsement: current out-of-state credential and the Pearson Indiana state portion only (ReIN-BrokerEnd, 60 questions, 90 minutes, $55) after PLA / Commission review. PLA warns that endorsement review takes time: the file is assigned to a Commission member, then voted on by the full Commission. If you are not approved, you may switch to licensure by examination (the full 145). The exam is not waived, and a salesperson license does not convert. Illinois endorsement and Ohio or Kentucky salesperson licenses are separate processes in those states.
Iowa
Iowa Code § 543B.21 is the nonresident / recognition statute; it is not a 50-state compact this site will copy. DIAL: no residency requirement on the original-by-exam path. Iowa-portion-only exams exist for candidates the Commission has authorized in writing. Nebraska 96-hour Course #0003, Missouri MREP, and Illinois 75+45 do not swallow Iowa's three live 12s. Confirm live waivers with IREC before skipping a named course.
Kansas
Kansas does not have named reciprocity partners. If you are currently licensed in another state, you skip the 30-hour Principles course, take only the Kansas exam portion, and still complete the 30-hour Kansas Practice Course, fingerprints, and broker affiliation. Nonresidents must hold a current license in their state of residence. Under K.S.A. 48-3406, military and established-resident applicants who qualify can have education and exam requirements waived. 2025 HB 2280 waives original and renewal fees for eligible military spouses. Confirm current eligibility on krec.ks.gov.
Kentucky
Named paths: Ohio, Tennessee, West Virginia, Florida
Louisiana
Per Handbook 091900, LREC may accept another state's exam in place of the National portion if you passed an equivalent license examination within five years of your Louisiana application date and your other license has not expired. You must still take the State portion. Partial education credit is possible, but the 30-hour Louisiana-law / agency / civil-law block is never waived. Reciprocal applicants use the Obtain-a-License / Previously-Currently-Licensed checklist on lrec.gov. Approval of out-of-state coursework must be complete before you file Part A.
Maine
Per the OPOR Nonresident / Resident Reciprocal Licensing section: an equal license may be issued to a person who holds a current and active real estate license in another jurisdiction after meeting the requirements. All reciprocal candidates must pass the Maine Law examination administered by Pearson VUE (50 scored, 1.5 hours, $85, scaled 75) regardless of the level of license currently held. You must furnish verification of licensure in good standing from any state where a license is held or has been held, including whether disciplinary action was taken. Fees: $100 + $21. A non-resident licensee must be affiliated with a Maine-licensed agency. A New Hampshire salesperson license does not automatically convert to a Maine sales agent license. The sales agent license remains non-renewable unless the reciprocal application issues the license at associate-broker or broker level. Check OPOR directly rather than relying on third-party reciprocity lists.
Maryland
Named paths: Pennsylvania, Oklahoma
Massachusetts
Named paths: Connecticut, Rhode Island, West Virginia, Nebraska, Iowa, Tennessee, Mississippi, Colorado, Georgia, Pennsylvania, New Mexico, Oklahoma
Michigan
The salesperson guide does not list any reciprocity partner states. Out-of-state applicants complete the 40 hours including 4 civil rights, file in MiPLUS, take the Michigan PSI exam, and submit a Consent to Service of Process. Ohio or Indiana waivers do not apply in Michigan. Certified license verification from Michigan is $15 per address via MiPLUS (FAQ 5).
Minnesota
Named paths: Wisconsin
Mississippi
MREC: reciprocal agreements with states vary. Currently licensed active people from a state with a current license-for-a-license agreement may be exempt from the examination if that state's exam is equivalent and the other state extends the same privilege to Mississippi licensees (Rule 1.1.G; PSI bulletin). Sister-state prelicense hours count only if that state approved the provider and a current agreement is in force. This site does not copy a third-party partner chart. Contact the Commission for the agreement that applies to your state. Original nonresidents without that agreement complete Mississippi pre-license education and sit the exam.
Missouri
The out-of-state path does not waive the exam: you sit the state portion only (Salesperson Licensed in another State Examination), complete MREP, and provide a license-history certification issued within three months. A copy of the license is not acceptable. Apply within six months of passing. MREC does not publish a reciprocity compact list, and a Kansas, Illinois, or Arkansas license does not automatically qualify you to practice in Missouri.
Montana
ARM 24.210.611 does not publish a list of reciprocal states. Waiver applicants must hold a current active license in good standing (611(6)) and must pass the Montana state examination (611(7)). Out-of-state salesperson applicants still need license verification from every jurisdiction where they have held any professional license. A 90-hour Idaho education record does not automatically satisfy Montana's 70 hours; read the current waiver checklist on the salesperson page. Experience, including transactions, must be presented on Board forms (611(5)); that requirement matters more on the broker application.
Nebraska
Named paths: License Recognition for persons moving to Nebraska who presently hold a license in their resident jurisdiction (NREC published path, not a 50-state chart)
Nevada
NRS 645.332 is not a named-partner agreement. A salesperson applicant who holds a license in good standing from another state/territory/DC whose salesperson requirements are substantially equivalent, and who passed that jurisdiction's exam, is not required to pass the uniform/national portion, but must still sit the Nevada state exam. Per NRED, licensed out-of-state applicants skip the 15-hour contracts course and the 15-hour agency course; they do not skip the 18 hours of Nevada law. A broker or broker-salesperson license by reciprocity is available only if that jurisdiction has entered a reciprocal agreement with the Commission (NRS 645.332(2)). This guide does not list partner states; confirm any current agreement with NRED. A California or Arizona license does not waive the Nevada law requirement.
New Hampshire
The PSI bulletin says NH has reciprocity with all 50 states, meaning a valid out-of-state license may support a reciprocal application. It does not waive the state exam or the 40-hour course unless OPLC's reciprocal application says so. Alternate education: 34 hours of out-of-state national material plus 6 hours of NH state material, still 32/8 classroom/distance. Broker candidates licensed in another state for at least one calendar year submit each state, license number, and a certificate of good standing with the exam registration (Rea 301.03(c)). Check oplc.nh.gov for current rules. An older NHES occupational sheet named Maine, Vermont, Massachusetts, and Georgia as reciprocal for a state-portion-only path; use the current OPLC form instead.
New Jersey
Requirements page: New Jersey does not have reciprocity with any state. Out-of-state brokers who have been continuously licensed as a broker in another state for 3 years still complete the two 30-hour broker courses and submit a current certification of license status and history with the School Certificate (PSI bulletin waiver section). That is a broker-education path, not salesperson reciprocity. The salesperson education waiver is a $25 Commission application, not a reciprocity agreement. Disabled U.S. veterans who are New Jersey citizens: contact the Education Waiver Section at (609) 292-7272.
New Mexico
Named paths: Georgia, Louisiana, Massachusetts
New York
DOS does not currently have reciprocity with any other state. Out-of-state education may be considered only through a written waiver request with original completion proof, a detailed outline, and a course description.
North Carolina
Not a compact. An applicant who holds a current license in another state (or U.S. territory or Canadian jurisdiction) that has been on active status within three years and is equivalent to NC provisional or full broker may waive the 75-hour course and the national section, then pass the NC state section, often remaining provisional and still owing postlicensing unless NCREC places them in an equivalent full-broker status. California, New York, and Texas licensees should read RELINC Option 4 rather than secondary sources that describe this as reciprocity.
North Dakota
Named paths: Georgia, Iowa, Minnesota
Ohio
Any education or exam waivers Ohio offers are published by the Division; check there rather than relying on third-party reciprocity charts. An Indiana broker license is not an Ohio salesperson license — Indiana has no salesperson title.
Oklahoma
Oklahoma does not publish a list of reciprocal states. Out-of-state applicants for sales associate or broker associate licenses follow the 2026 checklist: a license-history certification from every state in which you have held a real estate license, plus 1 hour Oklahoma Broker Relationship Act, 1 hour Oklahoma Code and Rules, and 6 hours Oklahoma Contracts and Forms, along with IdentoGO 2B7NR3, citizenship proof, and $35. Out-of-state broker applicants also take the 15-hour Broker in Charge course. A Texas, Arkansas, or Kansas license does not waive these Oklahoma hours. Nonresidents must still designate an Oklahoma resident agent.
Oregon
The REA Broker Licensing page does not list reciprocity partner states. Out-of-state licensees who want a principal broker license follow the out-of-state path on the REA Principal Broker Licensing page: certified license history, the 150-hour broker pre-license course of study, 40-hour BASS, the PSI principal broker exam, and fingerprints. The seven named Oregon courses are not waived for the entry broker license just because another state issued a salesperson certificate. Check the REA website for any education-waiver option rather than assuming a Washington or Idaho waiver applies.
Pennsylvania
Named paths: New York
Rhode Island
Named paths: Connecticut, Massachusetts, Florida
South Carolina
Named paths: Georgia, North Carolina
South Dakota
South Dakota does not list named reciprocity partners. If you are currently licensed in another state, the bulletin waives proof of the 116 hours. SDCL 36-21A-43: pass the South Dakota state portion to obtain a similar level of licensure if you hold an active license and passed that state's exam. A separate "salesperson (reciprocal only)" $225 application exists on the fee table — that is not an original South Dakota salesperson license. Nonresident brokers whose home state offers the same privileges need not keep a South Dakota office (SDCL 36-21A-54); licensees from states that do not grant full reciprocity must meet whatever that state requires of South Dakota licensees. You must still be fingerprinted, carry E&O, and file within 60 days.
Tennessee
Per the bulletin, candidates currently licensed in another jurisdiction seeking a Tennessee resident license MUST meet the same educational criteria as residents. Nonresidents must affiliate with a Tennessee-licensed firm and a TN-licensed principal broker. Before making an examination reservation, send course certificates, license certifications from each state, proof of a national testing-company exam if requesting a waiver of the national section, and a completed Worksheet A. Per TREC's PSI page, Commission staff enter out-of-state candidates into PSI after a CORE request ([email protected]), so do not assume the school can post you. TREC's Worksheet A requires 90 hours, including at least 30 hours of principles, the 30-hour CNA (Course for New Affiliates), and the remaining 30 hours in electives accepted by the resident state, plus a passing score of 70% on the Tennessee-law section. A Kentucky salesperson certificate is not an affiliate-broker license.
Texas
Texas does not maintain a Florida-style mutual-recognition list. Licensed out-of-state agents generally still complete TREC education evaluation and pass the Texas exam (often the state portion). Confirm current waiver rules on TREC's become-licensed pages before assuming any exam exemption.
Utah
Division Education Waivers page: applicants with an active real estate license in good standing from a state that does NOT have a reciprocity agreement with Utah may qualify for a waiver of some education and/or national exam requirements. Waivers will not be granted if the license has expired or is not in good standing. Submit the Real Estate Education Waiver Request and wait for the Division's waiver before taking remaining prelicense courses or the exam. Include a certified license history from each state of licensure. A one-time waiver extension requires a new history less than 30 days old. The sales-agent fee is still $154 with a waiver. Arizona's position on reciprocity applies to Arizona, not Utah. A Nevada score report at 75% does not exempt you from Utah's scaled 70 or the 50-item state exam. Utah Law hours are usually the main requirement left to complete.
Vermont
Vermont uses equivalence rather than named reciprocity partners. Education waiver: an active license in an equivalent state (Indiana and Rhode Island are not equivalent). National-exam waiver: an active license in an equivalent state (California, New York, Puerto Rico, and West Virginia are not equivalent). State exam: no waiver and no exceptions. Fast-track endorsement (3 V.S.A. § 136a): licensed, in good standing, with continuous practice of three or more years in another U.S. jurisdiction; the state exam is still required. License verification is needed only from your initial and most recent states. Post-licensure is waived for a salesperson licensed 24 months in another jurisdiction in good standing (Rule 5.2(a)).
Virginia
According to the Board FAQ, reciprocity salespersons must (1) pass the State portion of the examination, (2) submit verification of completion of a 60-hour course called Principles of Real Estate, and (3) submit letters of certification from other jurisdictions where licensed, and MUST hold a current salesperson license in another state. The exam is not waived, and there is no list of partner states. Universal License Recognition is a separate application on the salesperson forms page. Confirm the current requirements with the Board before you skip the 60-hour course.
Washington
Named paths: Any U.S. state or jurisdiction with an equivalent active broker (or lesser) license
West Virginia
WVREC does not publish a salesperson-exam waiver chart. Kentucky currently lists West Virginia among the states whose active licensees may take only Kentucky's state exam for reciprocity; that is a KREC rule, and WVREC does not waive its 90-hour course in return. West Virginia may accept non-resident continuing education if the other jurisdiction has a comparable CE requirement and recognizes West Virginia CE; that rule applies to renewal, not original licensure.
Wisconsin
DSPS / Form 3036 recognizes a reciprocal path with Illinois and Indiana for broker applicants who currently hold a broker license there. Otherwise, salesperson endorsement requires a license in another state within the past two years plus the 13-hour Wisconsin course (or 10 semester credits). Check DSPS's reciprocal-agreement text under § 452.05(3) before assuming any other state qualifies. Endorsement does not waive the Pearson exam unless DSPS says so.
Wyoming
Wyoming has no named-partner reciprocity list. Per WREC's obtain-a-license page, out-of-state salespersons need an active license in another state, two fingerprint cards, Wyoming Law, Salesperson II, the Wyoming state exam, and an application. A Colorado FA is treated as a salesperson in Wyoming (Commission special note) and follows that same list. Military/spouse: W.S. 33-1-117. Nonresidents: Irrevocable Consent to Service of Process. Under Chapter 1, active out-of-state applicants show Course I (state portion only) plus Course II. A Colorado associate-broker certificate alone does not qualify you as a Wyoming salesperson.
Pairwise examples: eight large markets
Moves between California, Texas, Florida, New York, Illinois, Georgia, Pennsylvania, and North Carolina involve eight of the largest licensing markets. Each table is a destination; each row is the state you are coming from. For any other pair, open the destination state's guide above. Confirm the live commission page the week you file.
If the destination is California
| From | What is published |
|---|---|
| Texas | None. TREC hours and Pearson scores do not waive DRE courses or the DRE exam. |
| Florida | None. Not on Florida mutual recognition. DRE still wants statutory courses and its own exam. |
| New York | None. DOS ended reciprocity in 2022; DRE never offered a compact. |
| Illinois | None. Illinois endorsement does not bind DRE. |
| Georgia | None. |
| Pennsylvania | None. PA state-portion-only sitting does not skip the DRE exam. |
| North Carolina | None. NCREC waivers do not create a DRE waiver. |
If the destination is Texas
| From | What is published |
|---|---|
| California | No DRE compact. Six named TREC courses and Pearson still apply unless TREC’s live waiver page says otherwise for your file. |
| Florida | Texas is not on Florida’s mutual-recognition list. |
| New York | No DOS reciprocity. |
| Illinois | Illinois endorsement is a Springfield filing, not a TREC waiver. |
| Georgia | No GREC compact cited here. |
| Pennsylvania | A recently active Texas licensee may sit only the PA portion; that is Harrisburg’s rule, not TREC’s. |
| North Carolina | NCREC may waive prelicensing and the national section for some active out-of-state brokers; you still often land provisional. |
If the destination is Florida
| From | What is published |
|---|---|
| California | Not mutual recognition. Full FREC I / FREC II and Pearson. |
| Texas | Not mutual recognition. |
| New York | Not mutual recognition. |
| Illinois | Yes, mutual recognition for nonresidents: 40-question Florida law exam, 30 to pass. Residents of Illinois do not get this path. |
| Georgia | Yes, same nonresident mutual-recognition sitting. |
| Pennsylvania | Not on the current mutual-recognition list cited on this site. |
| North Carolina | Not on the list. NCREC’s broker-only structure is a separate filing. |
If the destination is New York
| From | What is published |
|---|---|
| California | None after Dec 21, 2022. Out-of-state education is a written waiver request, not a right. |
| Texas | None. |
| Florida | None. Florida mutual recognition does not include New York. |
| Illinois | None. |
| Georgia | None. |
| Pennsylvania | One-way: PA may let a recently active NY licensee sit only the PA portion. DOS will not skip its exam for a PA license. |
| North Carolina | None at DOS. NCREC may still waive pieces of its own broker path. |
If the destination is Illinois
| From | What is published |
|---|---|
| California | No DRE compact. Endorsement into Illinois is $150 broker / $175 managing broker as of Jan 1, 2026 — still an IDFPR filing. |
| Texas | Endorsement, not TREC reciprocity. |
| Florida | Florida lists Illinois for nonresident mutual recognition. That is a Florida benefit, not an Illinois waiver of PSI. |
| New York | No DOS reciprocity. Illinois endorsement replaces the old reciprocal list. |
| Georgia | Florida’s GA/IL pairing does not create a GREC–IDFPR compact. |
| Pennsylvania | Separate Act 41 / endorsement systems. Read both packets. |
| North Carolina | NCREC waiver paths are broker/provisional, not an Illinois salesperson file — Illinois has no salesperson file. |
If the destination is Georgia
| From | What is published |
|---|---|
| California | None. |
| Texas | None cited. |
| Florida | Georgia is on Florida’s nonresident mutual-recognition list (40-question law exam). GREC still runs exam-then-apply for people coming in. |
| New York | None. |
| Illinois | Both appear on Florida’s list; that does not join GREC to IDFPR. |
| Pennsylvania | PA state-portion-only possible if recently active; not a GREC waiver. |
| North Carolina | Neighboring broker-only vs salesperson systems. Do not map a GA salesperson license onto an NC salesperson application — NC has none. |
If the destination is Pennsylvania
| From | What is published |
|---|---|
| California | Recently active CA licensees may sit only the PA portion. DRE still wants its own exam the other way. |
| Texas | Same PA state-portion-only path if recently active. |
| Florida | Not Florida mutual recognition. PA reciprocal / Act 41 are Harrisburg products. |
| New York | One-way courtesy toward PA; DOS reciprocity is closed. |
| Illinois | Act 41 and Illinois endorsement are different statutes. File the destination packet. |
| Georgia | State-portion-only if recently active; GREC’s 3/12-month window still governs Georgia applications. |
| North Carolina | NCREC may waive prelicense/national; PA may waive national. Two waivers, two filings, two fingerprints. |
If the destination is North Carolina
| From | What is published |
|---|---|
| California | Possible waiver of 75-hour prelicense and the national section for some active out-of-state brokers; still often provisional. DRE does not reciprocate. |
| Texas | Same NCREC waiver logic; TREC SAE does not replace 90-hour postlicensing. |
| Florida | Not on Florida mutual recognition. NC postlicensing is 90 hours in 18 months, not Florida’s 45. |
| New York | DOS closed. NCREC may still waive pieces of its broker path. |
| Illinois | Illinois broker is an entry license; NC provisional broker is an entry license. Titles rhyme; packets do not. |
| Georgia | Salesperson vs broker-only. Do not file an NC salesperson application. |
| Pennsylvania | Both can waive a national section for some active licensees. Neither issues the other’s wall license. |
