Can I get my MN salesperson license if I live in another state?
Yes, you can apply for a Minnesota real estate salesperson license even if you live in another state. However, you’ll still need to work under a Minnesota-licensed real estate broker and comply with the salesperson license requirements.
Active license holders in other states may be eligible for reciprocity depending on the licensing state. All active license holders will need to email a letter of certification no more than 90 days old as proof of their current license when applying for a Minnesota license.
