How can I get my UT license if I'm licensed in another state?
If you do not qualify for reciprocity, you will need to follow the same steps as a sales agent. You can, however, qualify for an education waiver or the national exam requirement waiver if you have an active real estate license in another state. You will need to complete and submit to the Division of Real Estate and education waiver request. Wait for the waiver before taking any pre-license education or taking the exam. You'll need to include the signed original education waiver in your license application.
