You would have to take it again, as each state has differant laws.

To get a license you need to take a course and then pass 2 tests – one general knowledge test and one that is state specific. To get licensed in another state that far away I assume you will need to retake the course for knowledge realted to that state and retake the state test (but you probably won’t need to redo the general info once you pass that test).

First poster is correct you will have to do it again in any state all the state laws are different.
Meaning if you have to do 90 hours in arizona and you pass your test. Then you have to do 90 hours in new york. You do them again.
Thats the site for arizona that can answer your licensing questions.
Good Luck in your new career

Unfortunately not only will you have to take the state exam again but you have to re-take the course as well. I believe this kind of ***** because if your a Lawyer, Dr., Dentist, Teacher, etc, in Florida then you can go be a teacher in NY & you do not have to do anything. But for us Mortgage Brokers & Realtors those rules don’t apply. Not only do we but most of our friends as well make more money then most of the professions I listed above. It’s unfortunate but the laws for real estate & financing are different in each state so you have to do it all over again.
Good Luck!

As everyone has stated, you will have to re-take your exam.
