Georgia Supplement Exam for Florida Residents

A Florida resident seeking a comparable Georgia salesperson or broker license cannot use Georgia's standard reciprocal application. A qualifying Florida licensee must pass the Georgia Supplement examination and document the current Florida license history.

Facts checked against the current PSI Candidate Information Bulletin and GREC sources. Last reviewed August 2, 2026. Editorial standards.

What is the direct answer?

Obtain a certified Florida license history issued within one year, use PSI's Florida-resident eligibility procedure, pass the Georgia Supplement, and then complete Georgia's license documents, background-report, lawful-presence, fee, and active-or-inactive status requirements.

Which official Georgia topic does this cover?

Florida-resident reciprocity and Georgia Supplement examination qualification.

What is the Georgia-specific distinction?

The Rule

The exception turns on residency, not merely where a license was issued. A Florida licensee who is not a Florida resident should confirm the standard reciprocal route; a Florida resident follows the supplement route described by GREC and PSI.

The complete lesson

The certified history must show the license status, the qualifying examination basis, and disciplinary information. A wall certificate or online lookup printout is not the certified history described by the application.

Study Georgia law and practice, including licensing powers and duties, brokerage relationships, trust accounts, advertising, handling transactions, Georgia finance and closing rules, and state calculations. Do not spend the same amount of time relearning national ownership topics unless a diagnostic shows a real gap.

After passing, the Georgia application still matters. Reciprocity does not erase the criminal history, lawful-presence, fee, post-license, or sponsorship rules that apply to the license requested.

What should you do, in order?

  1. Confirm that the Florida-resident rule applies to you.
  2. Order an original certified Florida license history less than one year old.
  3. Follow PSI's current supplement eligibility and scheduling instructions.
  4. Prepare from the Georgia content outline, not a generic national course.
  5. Complete the Georgia license application and status documents after passing.

Worked example: Residence changes the route

Alex holds an active Florida salesperson license and resides in Jacksonville. Devon holds the same Florida license but has established Georgia residency.

Alex follows the Florida-resident Georgia Supplement route. Devon should ask GREC which current reciprocal application applies rather than assuming that every Florida license holder must test.
