How much does the MD real estate salesperson license exam cost?

No. Your real estate course provider sends PSI, the state’s testing vendor, your eligibility once you successfully pass the course. You can’t schedule the exam without PSI entering your information into their system.

Your testing eligibility is valid for one year after passing the pre-license education course. Schedule and pass the exam inside of this window.

Contact PSI directly to schedule the exam appointment after receiving an approval email. Online registration is the fastest way to set up your state licensing exam. You can also call (855) 744-0318.

The Maryland state exam fee is $44 made payable directly to PSI.

You directly pay PSI, the state’s exam vendor, using a credit card. PSI accepts Visa, Mastercard, American Express, or Discover cards. If you don’t have a credit card, you can mail a check, money order, or cashier’s check. All payments must be made before the exam.

It may take 1-2 business days for PSI to receive and process your testing eligibility from your pre-license course provider. Use instructions for the online registration. You can be set up for your exam within 15 minutes.

PSI runs testing centers in Baltimore, College Park Center, Crofton Center, Hagerstown Center, Lanham Center, and Salisbury. Find the testing location addresses in the Candidate Handbook or a search of the PSI website.

In most cases, yes, you will still need to take the state exam if you are licensed in another state. When you apply for reciprocity or for out-of-state recognition, the Maryland Real Estate Commission will decide if you need to sit for the state exam and send your testing eligibility to PSI.

Any changes to your MD licensing exam appointment must be at least 48 hours in advance or you forfeit the exam fee. Voicemails and emails do not count as notification. You must call (855) 744-0318 and speak to a representative to cancel or change the exam date.
