A person who holds a valid active real estate license issued by another state shall be granted an equivalent Alaska real estate license if that person:

  1. passes the portion of the real estate examination which examines on Alaska law; and

Apply for an Alaska Real Estate License by Endorsement

Are you considering applying for an Alaska real estate license and already hold an active license in another state? Understanding the specific education requirements for licensing by endorsement is crucial to streamline your application process. Here’s what you need to know:

  1. Education Equivalency
    Ensure that your pre-licensing education from another state aligns with Alaska's stringent standards. This equivalency is key to transitioning your license without additional coursework.
  2. Timing of Education
    Your pre-licensing education must be recent, specifically completed within the 24 months immediately preceding your application date. This is vital for your education to be considered valid under Alaska regulations.

Facing Challenges?

If your license was issued more than 24 months ago, or if your educational curriculum does not match Alaska regulations, you might face delays.

In many cases, opting to complete Alaska's 40-hour pre-licensing course, or the 30-hour Broker Prelicensing course, could be your fastest route. This ensures you meet all documentation requirements and can expedite your licensing process.

If that describes your situation click here for more information about our Sales PreLicensing class or the Broker PreLicensing class.

Key Regulation References:

  • Comparable Pre-Licensing Education:
    Refer to 12 AAC 64.59 for specifics on what qualifies as comparable education.
  • Education Completion Window:
    As per 12 AAC 64.063(a)(2), ensure your education falls within the required 24-month timeframe.

By understanding and adhering to these guidelines, you can simplify your licensure process in Alaska. Whether you choose to validate your out-of-state education or complete the local pre-licensing course, being well-informed will help you navigate the process more smoothly.
