Real estate reciprocity is the ability to apply for a real estate license in other states without retaking a pre-licensing course.

Florida has real estate reciprocity, also known as mutual recognition, with Alabama, Arkansas, Connecticut, Georgia, Illinois, Mississippi, Nebraska, and Rhode Island.

For more information about real estate reciprocity and what states have it, visit the National Association of Realtors topic page here.

You may submit your application electronically or by mail. Instructions for each method can be found on the DBPR website here (online submissions) and here (mail submissions).
