How can I get my RI license if I'm already licensed in another state?

Rhode Island has reciprocity agreements with Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Florida. The agreement with Florida does require the applicant to sit for the state portion of the licensing exam.

You need to submit a reciprocal real estate salesperson application, a letter of good standing from your home State Licensing Authority, and your criminal history records. Florida applicants also need to take the state portion of the licensing exam.

If you are licensed in another state without a reciprocity agreement with Rhode Island, you'll need to submit the standard real estate salesperson application. Include a letter of good standing from your home state's licensing authority. You also need to take the pre-license education and the full licensing exam.

Non-resident applications need to follow the standard steps plus: ● Provide a Criminal History Record from the home state and the RI Department of the Attorney General ● If applicable, a letter of good standing from the home state's licensing authority ● A Power of Attorney Form for service of process
