Do I need to take the NC state exam if I’m licensed in another state?

Yes, but you will only need to pass the state portion of the North Carolina state license exam before submitting your application, along with a certified license history. You will need to complete the post-licensing education requirement, unless you get it successfully waived by demonstrating you have already completed equivalent coursework.

If you opt not to take the state portion of the exam, you will not be able to waive the post-licensing education requirement.

In either case, you will be issued a provisional broker license if you currently hold a real estate salesperson license, or other equivalent license, in another state.
