Real estate licensing requirements are set by each state and vary by license type. Common steps may include meeting the state’s minimum-age requirement, completing approved pre-licensing education, submitting an application, completing fingerprints or a background review where required, passing the licensing examination, and affiliating with a supervising broker where applicable.
Do not rely on a general citizenship or residency rule. Confirm current requirements with the applicable state regulator. Completing a course does not issue a license or guarantee exam passage or license approval.
