How can I get my VA license through reciprocity?

If you meet the requirements for reciprocity, the Real Estate Board will waive the 60-hour pre-license education requirement and the national portion of the state licensing exam.
This means you only have do the following to obtain your Virginia real estate salespersons license through reciprocity:
1) Pass the state portion of the Virginia real estate licensing exam.
2) Get fingerprinted at the PSI testing center.

3) Submit a Virginia Salesperson License Application with the following documents:

  • An original or certified transcript, Education Certification, Certification of Completion, License Certification or other documentation certifying the completion of a real estate license course that is substantially similar to the 60-hour Virginia pre-license course.
  • An original Certificate of Licensure or Letter of Good Standing from your current state, dated within 60 days of your Virginia license application being submitted (required for all states where you are or have been licensed to practice real estate).
  • A Disciplinary Action Reporting Form if you ever had any disciplinary action taken against your current or past real estate license(s).
  • Payment for the $170 license application fee.
