Lisa is a licensed real estate broker in Maryland and wants to obtain a Virginia real estate license without retaking the full Virginia licensing exam. She has held her Maryland broker license actively for the past five years. Which Virginia provision, if applicable, would most likely allow her to obtain a Virginia license with reduced requirements?

Correct Answer

B) Virginia's license recognition provision, which may allow Lisa to obtain a Virginia license by passing only the Virginia state portion of the exam

Virginia has license recognition (sometimes called reciprocity) agreements with certain states. Under these agreements, a licensee from a qualifying state may obtain a Virginia license by passing only the Virginia state portion of the licensing exam, rather than both the national and state portions. The applicant must still meet Virginia's application requirements, but the national exam portion may be waived. Maryland is among the states with which Virginia has such a recognition arrangement. This is not automatic full licensure — the state exam must still be passed.

Answer Options
A
Virginia's reciprocity agreement with Maryland, which grants automatic full licensure to any out-of-state broker
B
Virginia's license recognition provision, which may allow Lisa to obtain a Virginia license by passing only the Virginia state portion of the exam
C
The National Uniform Licensing and Certification Act, which mandates that all states accept each other's broker licenses
D
Virginia's endorsement provision, which waives all exam requirements for licensed brokers from any state
