Verdict
Reciprocity agreement
Georgia is on Oregon's recognition list, which puts this move on the streamlined track: your education and national exam are credited, and the requirements below are what Oregon still insists on — typically its own law exam and a background check. One caution: agreements are directional and revocable. This page's verification date tells you when we last confirmed Georgia on the list; the commission link is the live truth.
What's different between Georgia and Oregon
Computed from both states' verified data rows, in both directions, and from the route every other origin gets into Oregon. Exam notes are our summary of each board's published rules, with sources below.
- Route, each way
Georgia to Oregon (this page): Reciprocity agreement.
Oregon to Georgia (the reverse move): Reciprocity agreement.
The route is the same in both directions.
- Does coming from Georgia matter?
Coming from Georgia matters here: only 4 of 50 origins (the other 49 states and DC) get this result for a move into Oregon.
The others get: licensure by endorsement (46).
- Reciprocity agreements
Oregon's reciprocity agreement list names 4 states (Alabama, Georgia, Nebraska, and South Dakota), including Georgia.
Georgia's reciprocity agreement list names 49 states, including Oregon.
- Application fee
Oregon lists $300 for an out-of-state applicant and Georgia lists $170 for the reverse move; neither may be the full cost.
- Pre-license education
Oregon's first-time-applicant standard is 150 hours of pre-license education; Georgia's is 75.
Oregon's is 75 education hours higher than Georgia's.
- Exam rules on record
Oregon and Georgia carry different exam notes (our summaries, below); any state law or jurisprudence exam is listed with each state's requirements.
- Oregon (this move): No education or examination waivers for applicants from non-reciprocal states - the full 150-hour broker pre-license education and both sections of the broker exam are required. Applicants licensed in the reciprocal jurisdictions follow a separate reciprocal process with specific, agency-determined requirements.
- Georgia (the reverse move): Reciprocal applicants take NO Georgia examination (national and state portions both waived) if they obtained their out-of-state license by passing that state's exam and the license is active and in good standing. Exception: a licensed applicant who is a FLORIDA RESIDENT must pass the Georgia Law and Practice supplement (the state portion of the GA exam) through PSI before licensure.

Frequently asked questions
Can I keep selling in Georgia after I'm licensed in Oregon?
Yes — real estate licenses stack. Keep the Georgia license active (renewals and CE continue separately) and you hold both; many border-market agents do exactly this.
