FAQ: Can I get my NC provisional broker license if I live in another state?

Yes, if you are a resident from another state, you may still apply for a North Carolina provisional broker license, as long as you hold a real estate license in your state of residency. However, the firm and principal broker where you hold your license will need to be licensed in North Carolina.

You will need to pass the North Carolina portion of the state license exam, but may be able to waive the pre-license education requirement and the national portion of the state license exam. To request a waiver, attach an Official Certification of Licensure from the state or jurisdiction where you are licensed. The certification should not have been issued more than six months ago and must show the license history and any disciplinary action or complaints taken against the applicant.
