Real Estate License from Georgia to Alaska: Does It Transfer? (2026)
Last verified: 2026-07-21 · source: Alaska Real Estate Commission (Division of Corporations, Business and Professional Licensing) ↗
A real estate license transfers from Georgia to Alaska by endorsement — there is no automatic reciprocity, but you do not start over. Apply to the Alaska Real Estate Commission (Division of Corporations, Business and Professional Licensing), verify your Georgia license, and meet Alaska's endorsement requirements. Endorsement applicants pass only the Alaska portion of the salesperson exam (the general/national portion is not required) and complete a 6-hour Alaska real estate law course; they must also document salesperson pre-licensing education equivalent to Alaska's 40 required hours..

Verdict
Licensure by endorsement
Alaska publishes no agreement covering Georgia, but it does evaluate out-of-state licensees individually — so this move runs on Alaska's endorsement judgment rather than a guarantee. The requirements below are what the Alaska Real Estate Commission (Division of Corporations, Business and Professional Licensing) commits to in writing; for anything discretionary (exam waivers, education credit), get the commission's answer in writing before you rely on it.
What changes, Georgia → Alaska
| Georgia (current) | Alaska (destination) | |
|---|---|---|
| Training hours | 75 | 40 |
| Application fee | $170 ($170 GA license fee (covers the 4-year term); incomplete applications incur a $25 charge. Florida residents instead pay a $121 PSI supplemental-exam fee plus the $170 license fee.) | $390 (Initial salesperson application fee schedule: $200 nonrefundable application fee + $140 license fee + $50 recovery fund fee (stated in the by-examination instructions; endorsement application fees are comparable). E and O insurance is separately required.) |
| Processing time | GREC does not publish a stated processing time for the reciprocal application | 2–3 weeks (Division states an application status update within 10-15 business days of a complete online application.) |
| Licensing authority | Georgia Real Estate Commission (GREC) | Alaska Real Estate Commission (Division of Corporations, Business and Professional Licensing) |
The destination column is what you must satisfy — Alaska sets the rules for this move.
