License by Endorsement
Sec. 08.88.263. License by Endorsement.
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:
- passes the portion of the real estate examination which examines on Alaska law; and
- meets the requirements of AS 08.88.171
- satisfies the educational requirements under AS 08.88.095(a) if the person has not held the license issued by the other state for one year or more.
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:
- 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. - 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.
According to the Alaska Real Estate Commission, the request for documentation from your licensing authority can also delay the process. In many cases, opting to complete Alaska's 40-hour pre-licensing course could be your fastest route. This ensures you meet all documentation requirements and can expedite the endorsement process.

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.
