A licensee obtained a Georgia real estate license through reciprocity based on an active license from another state. After practicing in Georgia for two years, the licensee allows the original state license to expire without renewal. What is the effect on the licensee's Georgia license?

Correct Answer

C) The Georgia license remains valid as long as the licensee continues to meet Georgia's own renewal requirements

Under Georgia law, once a license is issued through reciprocity, it becomes a standard Georgia real estate license governed by Georgia's licensing statutes and GREC rules. The licensee must satisfy Georgia's renewal requirements, including continuing education and timely renewal under O.C.G.A. § 43-40-15. Georgia does not impose an ongoing requirement to maintain the original qualifying state license after the Georgia license has been issued.

Answer Options
A
The Georgia license automatically becomes invalid when the original state license expires
B
The licensee must pass the complete Georgia licensing examination to maintain the Georgia license
C
The Georgia license remains valid as long as the licensee continues to meet Georgia's own renewal requirements
D
The licensee has 90 days to reinstate the original state license or the Georgia license will be revoked
