Georgia State Reciprocity:

A real estate professional licensed in another state who becomes a Georgia resident may obtain an equivalent Georgia real estate license without further examination or education. The applicant must submit a certification of license history (no more than one year old) from the state in which the applicant is currently licensed. The certification of license history must show that the applicant:

• Is currently in good standing (license cannot be lapsed or expired)
• Has passed an examination for the type of license sought in Georgia
• Has met all pre-license and continuing education requirements required for that license by that state

Georgia Real Estate Continuing Education (CE) and License Renewal Requirements:

In order to renew your real estate license in Georgia, 36 hours of real estate CE must be completed every 4 years from the month of your birth.  Of the 36 hours, 3 hours must cover Georgia law and rules.
