Robert is a licensed real estate broker in Georgia who wants to obtain an Alabama real estate license without taking the full Alabama pre-license education course. He is aware that Alabama has reciprocity agreements with some states. Under Alabama's reciprocity provisions, which of the following statements is most accurate regarding Robert's situation?

Correct Answer

D) Robert must pass the Alabama state portion of the PSI examination and meet Alabama's licensing requirements, even if his home state has a reciprocity arrangement with Alabama.

Alabama's reciprocity provisions under Code of Alabama §34-27-9 and AREC rules allow out-of-state licensees to obtain an Alabama license with reduced educational requirements, but Alabama consistently requires out-of-state applicants to pass the Alabama state portion of the PSI examination. The state portion tests Alabama-specific law and regulations that are unique to Alabama, and AREC does not waive this requirement even for applicants from states with reciprocity arrangements. Full examination waiver reciprocity is not Alabama's standard practice.

Answer Options
A
Robert may obtain an Alabama license by reciprocity without taking any Alabama examination, provided Georgia has a full reciprocity agreement with Alabama.
B
Robert may obtain an Alabama license by submitting proof of his Georgia license and paying the applicable AREC fee, with no further requirements.
C
Robert must first surrender his Georgia license before Alabama will issue a reciprocal license under AREC's reciprocity rules.
D
Robert must pass the Alabama state portion of the PSI examination and meet Alabama's licensing requirements, even if his home state has a reciprocity arrangement with Alabama.
