How to schedule my Washington exam if I am licensed in another state?
If you are licensed in another state at a level equivalent to, or greater than, the Washington real estate broker license, you will need to be affiliated with a firm and designated broker licensed in Washington.
Also, you will need to provide your licensing and education information to the Washington State Department of licensing. You can use the Department’s online application process to provide the following information:
A letter requesting review and approval of reciprocity. Include your current contact information.
Provide your certified license history from the jurisdiction where you are currently licensed. You must be active and in good standing, or have been active and in good standing in the past six months. To get your certified license history, you will need to request it from your current state. Ask that it be forwarded to the state of Washington.
Just as resident candidates do, you will need to register as a student on the Washington Student User Portal, which is available from the PSI website.
The information will be reviewed by the Department and you will receive further instructions for scheduling your exam once you have been approved. You will only need to take the Washington law portion of the exam.
