Real Estate License from Idaho to Georgia: Does It Transfer? (2026)

What's different between Idaho and Georgia

Computed from both states' verified data rows, in both directions, and from the route every other origin gets into Georgia. Exam notes are our summary of each board's published rules, with sources below.

Route, each way

Idaho to Georgia (this page): Reciprocity agreement.

Georgia to Idaho (the reverse move): Licensure by endorsement.

The two directions differ: Idaho and Georgia do not give each other's licensees the same route.

Does coming from Idaho matter?

Idaho gets Georgia's most common result: 49 of 50 origins (the other 49 states and DC) get the same one, so for most movers the origin does not change the answer.

The others get: licensure by endorsement (1).

Reciprocity agreements

Georgia's reciprocity agreement list names 49 states, including Idaho.

Idaho's row names no reciprocity agreement states.

Application fee

Georgia lists $170 for an out-of-state applicant and Idaho lists $160 for the reverse move; neither may be the full cost.

Processing time

Idaho lists 3–6 weeks for the reverse move; Georgia has no verified processing-time figure on file, so the two cannot be compared here.

Pre-license education

Georgia's first-time-applicant standard is 75 hours of pre-license education; Idaho's is 90.

Georgia's is 15 education hours lower than Idaho's.

Exam rules on record

Georgia and Idaho carry different exam notes (our summaries, below); any state law or jurisprudence exam is listed with each state's requirements.

• Georgia (this 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.
• Idaho (the reverse move): Idaho has NO reciprocal or other license agreements with any jurisdiction. However, an applicant licensed on active status in another state receives a waiver of the NATIONAL portion of the Idaho licensing exam AND the prelicense education (and broker experience, if applicable), so only the Idaho state-specific portion must be passed. The applicant submits a certified license history with an Exam Waiver Request; the waiver itself carries no charge.

4. Hold an active out-of-state license that was obtained by passing that state's examination and is currently in good standing (not lapsed or expired).
