Reciprocity FAQ

Reciprocity Issues

Reciprocity Issues
Reciprocity is a mutual exchange of real estate privileges, including the validity of licenses, recognized by one or more states. Search state boards and locate information on how to obtain single or dual licenses on the east coast.
District of Columbia Reciprocity

To begin the reciprocity process for DC, REALTORS® must take DC's three-hour fair housing course, obtain an original Letter of Certification from the board(s), and take the DC licensing law exam.

Call ASI at 888.204.6192 to obtain a copy of the DC Real Estate Statute to learn and study before the exam, and call 800.274.2602 to schedule your test.

On the day of your exam, bring the original letter(s) of licensure, the fair housing course certificate of completion, the ASI exam fee ($61), and any other required documents, to the exam site. (When you register to take the exam, ASI will send you a confirmation sheet that lists all required documents.)
