Real Estate License from Oklahoma to Connecticut: Does It Transfer? (2026)

What's different between Oklahoma and Connecticut

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

Route, each way

Oklahoma to Connecticut (this page): Reciprocity agreement.

Connecticut to Oklahoma (the reverse move): Licensure by endorsement.

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

Does coming from Oklahoma matter?

Coming from Oklahoma matters here: only 12 of 50 origins (the other 49 states and DC) get this result for a move into Connecticut.

The others get: licensure by endorsement (38).

Reciprocity agreements

Connecticut's reciprocity agreement list names 12 states (Alabama, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Massachusetts, Mississippi, Nebraska, Ohio, Oklahoma, and Rhode Island), including Oklahoma.

Oklahoma's reciprocity agreement list names 8 states (Alabama, Arkansas, Iowa, Louisiana, Maryland, Nebraska, North Dakota, and South Dakota), not including Connecticut.

Application fee

Connecticut lists $670 for an out-of-state applicant and Oklahoma lists $220 for the reverse move; neither may be the full cost.

Pre-license education

Connecticut's first-time-applicant standard is 60 hours of pre-license education; Oklahoma's is 90.

Connecticut's is 30 education hours lower than Oklahoma's.

Exam rules on record

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

• Connecticut (this move): Reciprocal-state applicants licensed by examination skip the Connecticut exam, EXCEPT applicants from Florida, Illinois, Indiana or Ohio, who must pass the state portion of the Connecticut Real Estate Examination (PSI); non-reciprocal-state licensees may also license by passing the CT state portion
• Oklahoma (the reverse move): Oklahoma State-only examination (national portion waived) for applicants with 2+ years' experience in the last 3 years under an out-of-state license, OR any amount of experience in the last 5 years from Alabama, Arkansas, Iowa, Louisiana, Maryland, Nebraska, North Dakota or South Dakota; all other out-of-state applicants take the full national + Oklahoma examination (Pearson VUE).
