How do I get my MD real estate license if I'm not an MD resident?
If you have not held a real estate license before, you need to follow all of the same steps as a Maryland resident to earn your salesperson license. If you are applying from another state and you already hold a real estate license, you can apply for out-of-state recognition or follow the steps for reciprocity if you are from Pennsylvania or Oklahoma.

Maryland only offers reciprocity with Pennsylvania and Oklahoma. If you are licensed in another state, you will have to go through a different process.
To take advantage of reciprocity, you'll need to have a license in Pennsylvania or Oklahoma. Review the specific terms of the agreement to make sure you meet the guidelines for your state. Submit a complete certified license history with your salesperson application and pay the license fee.
You can apply for out-of-state license recognition to waive some of the licensing requirements. Send a certificate with your full licensing history from the state where you were first licensed and are currently licensed. Send within 30 days of the issue date from your home state with a personally signed cover letter.
