Here's the relevant section from the GREC website.All associate broker and broker applicants must have been licensed on active status for a minimum of three of the previous five years before they can be licensed.If you have been actively licensed in Georgia for at least three years and you are enrolled in a Broker's Prelicense Course at a school approved by the Commission, your license history will be verified by the Commission at the time the school transmits your electronic application.If you have ever held a real estate license in a state other than Georgia, or if you are not fulfilling your prelicense education requirements by taking a Broker's Prelicense Course at a school approved by the Commission, you MUST attach a certification of your license history from the state in which you met the education, examination and experience requirements for licensure with your application.
