David is a licensed real estate broker in Oregon and wants to obtain a Washington broker license without completing the full 90-hour pre-licensing education requirement. He has been actively licensed in Oregon for two years. Which of the following best describes Washington's reciprocity or endorsement policy for out-of-state licensees?

Correct Answer

D) Washington offers license endorsement for applicants from states with equivalent licensing standards, requiring the state portion of the exam but potentially waiving pre-licensing education

Washington offers a license endorsement process for applicants who hold an active license in another state. Under this process, the DOL may waive the pre-licensing education requirement if the applicant's home state has equivalent standards. However, the applicant must still pass the Washington state portion of the examination to demonstrate knowledge of Washington-specific law. A background check and application are also required. This is not called 'reciprocity' in Washington but rather 'endorsement.'

Answer Options
A
Washington offers full reciprocity with all states, so David only needs to pass the Washington state portion of the exam
B
Washington does not offer reciprocity with any state, so David must complete all education and pass both portions of the exam
C
Washington offers partial reciprocity with Oregon, waiving the national exam but requiring the state portion and a background check
D
Washington offers license endorsement for applicants from states with equivalent licensing standards, requiring the state portion of the exam but potentially waiving pre-licensing education
