How to get a Real Estate License in Washington
In Washington, entry-level real estate agents are licensed as real estate brokers. Follow these steps to complete your education, pass the state and national licensing exams, and activate your broker license with a real estate firm.
1
Meet Washington broker license eligibility requirements
You must be at least 18 years old and have a high school diploma or equivalent. Washington calls the entry-level credential a real estate broker license, not a salesperson license. Review the Washington Department of Licensing requirements before enrolling.
2
Complete 90 hours of approved pre-licensing education and register with PSI
Finish 60 hours of Real Estate Fundamentals and 30 hours of Real Estate Practices through an approved school, completed within two years before your broker exam approval expires. See the full Washington real estate license requirements for course details. After you complete your school’s required assessments, which are separate from the state licensing exam, your school submits your completion records to PSI, Washington’s examination provider. Once they’re processed, watch for the PSI notification and register your exam account.
3
Pass the Washington broker licensing exams
Schedule the national and Washington state portions through PSI. Both must be passed within six months of each other. The current combined broker exam fee is $210; retakes also cost $210. You must apply for a license within one year of passing your final exam. For preparation, explore Washington broker exam prep and practice exams.
4
Submit fingerprints after passing the exam
After passing, arrange your background check fingerprints. Washington residents use IdentoGO; out-of-state applicants follow the DOL fingerprint submission process. DOL says results can take up to 14 business days to arrive from the Washington State Patrol. Follow the DOL fingerprinting instructions before you apply.
5
Apply for your Washington broker license
Wait until DOL confirms receipt of your exam results and background check, then apply through the state’s online licensing portal. The current original broker license fee is $233. Verify the latest amount in the official Washington real estate fee schedule.
6
Join a real estate firm to activate your license
Once DOL issues your license, a Washington real estate firm can invite you to join. Accept the firm’s invitation through the licensing system to activate your license before performing brokerage services. A managing broker supervises a broker’s activities.

Washington’s current state fees include a $210 broker licensing exam and a $233 original broker license fee, or $443 before education and fingerprinting.

Yes, Washington provides a reciprocity application pathway for applicants who were actively licensed in good standing in another state within the preceding six months.

First-time Washington broker applicants generally must complete 90 hours of approved education before scheduling the licensing exams. Your education provider reports course completion to PSI.
It varies per person on how long it takes to get a Washington real estate license depending on the pace at which you complete the 90 hours of pre-licensing coursework and pass your licensing examination, the time it takes you to complete the application process, and application and background check processing times.
To qualify for a Washington real estate broker license, you must be 18 or older, have a high school diploma or equivalent, complete 90 hours of approved education, pass both licensing exam portions, submit fingerprints for a background check, and apply for your license. You must join a real estate firm to activate it. See Washington broker license requirements for more detail.
No. Washington requires a high school diploma or equivalent, not a college degree, for the initial real estate broker license.
After passing both exam portions, submit fingerprints, wait for DOL to receive your exam and background check results, and apply for your broker license within one year. Once licensed, accept an invitation from a real estate firm to activate your license.
