Frequently asked questions

Can I transfer my L&H Agent license to another state?

Reciprocity for L&H Agent licenses is decided state-by-state and no state notes are published in our dataset yet. Contact both state boards — your current one and your destination — to confirm whether your license transfers, requires an exam, or needs extra education.

What does reciprocity mean for a license?

Reciprocity lets an already-licensed professional from one state qualify for a license in another state without repeating the full education and exam process. Some states have formal agreements; others require a state-specific exam or extra coursework even when they accept your license.

Why do some states say "check both state boards"?

State reciprocity tables are not consistently published in machine-readable form. When a state has not published an official note in our verified sources, we point you to both boards rather than guess. That is the safest answer for a decision that can affect your eligibility to work.

Does holding a license in one state guarantee a license in another?

No. Every state sets its own licensing law. Even in states with reciprocity, you typically still file an application, pay a fee, pass a background check and sometimes pass a state-specific exam. Always confirm directly with the destination state board.

Plan your move with L&H Agent data

Reciprocity rules change frequently and are set by each state legislature and board. “Check both state boards” means the note is not published in our dataset — it is not a negative answer. Always verify with both boards before relocating (data retrieved 2026-08-20).
