How can I get my RI real estate license through reciprocity?
Candidates applying for a Rhode Island license using reciprocity will fill out the reciprocal real estate salesperson application. You will still need to complete the Lead Hazard Mitigation course and supply a criminal history record from the Rhode Island Department of the Attorney General. The application also needs a letter of good standing from your home state licensing authority and an irrevocable Power of Attorney form.
Florida applicants also need to sit for the state portion of the examination and submit their score report.
