How can I get my CO license if I'm already licensed in another state?
Real estate professionals licensed in another state are able to apply through reciprocity. Anyone who has held an active license for at least two years will need to submit to a fingerprint background check, provide a certified license history, and pass the state portion of the Colorado Real Estate Broker’s exam. Anyone who has held a license for less than two years or has an expired license will need to do the steps above, pass the national portion of the exam, and take 120 hours of education.
