Dear Licensee:
This email is intended to provide more information regarding reciprocity and recent changes in educational requirements. Please read the following closely and contact the Department with any questions.
On December 21, 2022, new educational standards went into effect for applicants seeking a new license as a real estate broker or salesperson. As a result of these additional requirements, for both new brokers and salespersons(following links for FAQs) the state no longer has direct reciprocity with other states.
If you’re currently licensed and obtained your license by reciprocity, before December 21, 2022, this change does not impact you or the status of your license. You do not need to take additional qualifying coursework to maintain your current license. To renew your license, you must satisfy the new continuing education standards (please follow links above for requirements).
For new applicants, (i.e., those applying after December 21, 2022), if you completed your qualifying education out of state, you should request a waiver and provide a course description, proof of course completion and a detailed outline listing the topics and hours completed. You will be notified of missing course work and our staff will work with you to find an available course to satisfying any missing components.
If you have questions regarding this email or seeking available qualifying courses, please email the Department at licensing@dos.ny.gov
Sincerely,
Department of State
Division of Licensing Services
