For the South Dakota broker associate state portion, a nonresident salesperson or broker associate wants to activate practice in South Dakota. Which statement is correct?

Correct Answer

A) The responsible broker must obtain a South Dakota broker license before the nonresident salesperson or broker associate can activate under that broker

The SDREC nonresident page states that if the applicant is a salesperson or broker associate, the responsible broker must obtain a South Dakota broker license. Source basis: South Dakota Real Estate Commission Non-Resident Licensing Information page and SDREC-NONRES APP Rev. 02/2026, checked 2026-04-30: nonresident/equivalent-license applicants register and pass the State Exam, submit a current license-history certificate, original state score report, E&O proof, fingerprints/background check, and application within 60 days; an approved license remains inactive until requested by a responsible broker.
