Where can I take the OH real estate licensing exam?

No. You need to apply to take the state licensing exam. That application asks for your proof of pre-licensing education.

Your course completion certificate is valid for ten years, so in theory, you have up to ten years. However, it’s best to schedule your exam as soon as possible while the material is fresh in your mind.

First, apply for the salesperson exam and get fingerprinted. ODRE must approve your application. PSI will send you a Candidate Information Handbook stickered with an OH RE _ID# once you are approved to take the exam. Now you can visit https://www.psiexams.com or call (855) 834-8749 for scheduling.

The Ohio real estate salesperson state exam fee is $61 paid directly to the testing vendor PSI.

You pay PSI, the state’s exam provider, using a credit card. PSI accepts most major credit cards. You can also mail a company check, money order, or cashier’s check. Payment must be received in advance of the exam.

The longest part of the process is waiting for the Ohio Division of Real Estate to approve your application. Once that is done and you have your Ohio Reference ID number, registration and scheduling can be completed in less than half an hour. Visit https://www.psiexams.com or call (855) 834-8749.

PSI exam centers are available in Akron, Cambridge, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Columbus, Toledo, and Troy, Ohio. Search the PSI website or refer to the Ohio Candidate Bulletin for the addresses to find the closest test center for you.

Any changes or cancellations must be made at least 48 hours in advance, or you will forfeit your exam fee and have to reapply to take the state exam. To reschedule, call (855) 834-8749. Voicemails are not accepted as cancellations.
