Florida to Georgia Reciprocal License Information

Florida and Georgia have a mutual recognition agreement, but you must still pass the Georgia-specific state law exam. You do not need to retake the standard pre-licensing coursework, but you must pass the Georgia Law and Practice supplement exam before applying for your license. [1, 2, 3]

Key Requirements for Application

To obtain your reciprocal Georgia license through the Georgia Real Estate Commission (GREC), you must complete the following steps:

  • Pass the Exam: Register with PSI Services to take the Georgia Law and Practice state supplement exam (or the Georgia CAM exam if you hold a Community Association Manager license). [1]
  • Submit License History: Request a certified, official copy of your Florida license history from the Florida Real Estate Commission (FREC). This document must be dated within one year of your application. [1, 2]
  • Criminal Background Check: Obtain a criminal background report. If you currently reside outside of Georgia, provide a comparable report from your current state of residence. [1]
  • Lawful Presence Verification: Complete and notarize the Lawful Presence Verification form, along with supporting legal documentation. [1, 2]
  • Sponsorship: You must secure a sponsoring broker authorized to do business in Georgia to complete the Sponsoring Broker Statement, unless you are applying to be a broker yourself. [1]
  • Application Fees: Be prepared to pay the $170 application fee, typically via certified check or money order. [1, 2]
