To receive a license by reciprocity, you have to be in good standing and actively licensed in Arkansas, Georgia, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Mississippi, or North Dakota. You have to have received your original license from that state. Your Iowa license must also be assigned to that same real estate company that holds that original license.
If you meet these qualifications, you need to submit to a state and national criminal history background check through the Iowa Real Estate Commission. Receive a certificate of license history that includes your method of licensure, such as through exam, reciprocity, or other, and the real estate company that holds your license.
After the Iowa Real Estate Commission has received your criminal history background check, submit your application electronically to the My Iowa PLB platform. Attach your original certificate of license history and your proof of errors and omissions insurance coverage in Iowa.
