Does my real estate license transfer to Missouri?

Missouri has no blanket reciprocity agreement, but the Missouri Real Estate Commission (MREC), Division of Professional Registration evaluates out-of-state licensees for endorsement individually. National/uniform portion waived: an applicant holding a current, active out-of-state salesperson license passes only the STATE portion of the Missouri salesperson exam (State Salesperson exam, $52 to PSI) and takes the 24-hour Missouri Real Estate Practice (MREP) course; the 48-hour Missouri pre-examination course is not required. Application fee: $100 ($100 original salesperson issuance fee effective 7/1/2024; plus $52 State Salesperson examination fee paid to PSI and a separate IDEMIA/IDENTOGO fingerprint fee).

Verdict

Licensure by endorsement

Not a true no-reciprocity state. A current, active out-of-state salesperson gets the 48-hour pre-exam course and the national exam portion waived, and takes only the Missouri STATE exam portion plus the 24-hour MREP course. A brand-new Missouri resident completes 72 hours total (48-hour pre-exam course + 24-hour MREP), which is the education_hours_required figure; out-of-state applicants complete only the 24-hour MREP. Real estate has no interstate compact.
