Transfer Your Real Estate License to West Virginia: Reciprocity & Endorsement (2026)

West Virginia's agreement is a list, and the list is the law: if your state appears on it, the streamlined track below applies; if not, no amount of experience substitutes — you use the new-applicant track. Check the list before anything else, and remember it describes states West Virginia recognizes, which says nothing about the reverse direction.

Seed 'partial' confirmed. The Commission's Reciprocity Agreements page formally names only Florida (a mutual arrangement - West Virginia also appears on Florida's mutual-recognition list). However, per W. Va. Code Section 30-40-15 and the Licensing page, ANY applicant already licensed in another jurisdiction may obtain a WV license by passing only the state-specific exam portion (the National exam and the 90-hour pre-license education are effectively waived for reciprocal applicants), so endorsement is broadly available. The 90 salesperson education hours (30 Principles & Practice + 20 Law + 20 Finance + 20 Appraisal) apply to new applicants.
