Who qualifies
Two conditions do the work. The license must be current rather than merely once held, and it must have been earned by examination. The reciprocity application itself is available from the Forms and Applications section of the GREC website.
What documents does the current application require?
- A certified license history issued within one year, showing current good standing, examination basis, and disciplinary information.
- A notarized lawful-presence verification and qualifying secure and verifiable document.
- A law-enforcement criminal history report appropriate to residence, no more than 60 days old.
- The $170 license fee in the payment form required by the current application.
- Sponsorship or firm documents if active status is requested.
The Florida exception
Florida residents who qualify for reciprocity cannot use the standard application. They must take and pass the Georgia Supplement Exam, applying through PSI using the same procedure as any other candidate. If that is you, the exam guide and the Georgia differences ledger cover the state material the supplement tests.
The Florida-resident supplement guide covers certified history, PSI eligibility, Georgia-only preparation, and the post-pass application.
Do reciprocal salespersons still need post-license education?
Yes, unless proof of a substantially similar qualifying course satisfies the current Georgia rule. The reciprocal application tells salesperson applicants to complete Georgia's 25-hour post-license requirement in the first year or submit acceptable proof of substantially similar education from another state.
Confirm your own eligibility
GREC decides eligibility, and the details of an individual license history matter. Contact them before paying for anything, rather than working from a summary on any website including this one.
The nonresident guide separates residency, license jurisdiction, background-report source, active status, and interstate brokerage limits.
