What are the licensing requirements in Hawaii?
No individual shall be eligible for the licensing examination unless the individual is a United States citizen, a United States national, or an alien authorized to work in the United States, and of the age of majority (18), and has satisfactorily completed a commission-approved prelicensing course for real estate salesperson or broker, or its equivalent as determined by the commission. You must also take and pass the State licensing exam; make written application for your license; and pay the appropriate fees. As a “Salesperson” you must “hang” your license with an existing brokerage company and conduct your real estate activities under the supervision of the firm’s Principal Broker. Or, you may apply for your license and place it directly on an “inactive” status.
