Does my real estate license transfer to Arizona?

Arizona has no blanket reciprocity agreement, but the Arizona Department of Real Estate (ADRE) evaluates out-of-state licensees for endorsement individually. No exam waiver - the applicant must pass the full Arizona Real Estate Salesperson examination (Pearson VUE; Arizona uses a single state-specific exam). Out-of-state license recognition waives the 90-hour pre-license course, but a 6-hour contract writing course is still required. Application fee: $60 (Original salesperson license: $50 license fee + $10 real estate recovery fund fee = $60. Plus a $75 examination application/exam fee (Pearson VUE) and the Arizona DPS Fingerprint Clearance Card fee (separate).).

Verdict

Licensure by endorsement

Arizona has no full reciprocity but offers Out-of-State License Recognition (A.R.S. 32-2124) to salespersons holding an equivalent license in another state for 1+ year: the 90-hour pre-license course is waived, but the applicant still passes the Arizona salesperson exam and completes the 6-hour contract writing course. SEED CORRECTION: seed said 'no reciprocity / endorsement not available,' but a recognition/endorsement pathway exists. ADRE pages were read via the Internet Archive (azre.gov is Cloudflare-challenge protected).
