General Requirements
Louisiana salesperson applicants must be at least 18 years of age and have earned a high school diploma or equivalency certificate before applying for a salesperson license.
Anyone convicted of a felony must complete the felony applicant process first.
Otherwise, you can earn your Louisiana salesperson’s license in 7 steps.
Step 1: Complete Pre-license Education
Louisiana requires salesperson applicants to take 90 hours of pre-licensing education. The 90-hour pre-licensing course must be taken from an approved and state-certified real estate school. The pre-license course can be taken online or in-person.
The Louisiana 90-hour pre-licensing course will have a final exam to cap the coursework. You must pass the final to receive your certificate of completion.
Step 2: Submit the Salesperson License Application A
Next, you’ll send your 90-hour course completion certificate to the LREC with your Initial Real Estate Salesperson License Application – Part A. The total fees for this application are $90.
The LREC will process your application and send its approval to PSI for your state licensing exam.
Step 3: Schedule Your Exam
After Part A of your licensing application is approved, PSI will email you the Examination Authorization Form and instructions on how to schedule your state exam. Your Examination Authorization entitles you to take the exam one time.
PSI runs testing centers throughout the state. See the testing locations in the Candidate Handbook or by scheduling on PSI’s website. You can also call (855) 579-4644 for registration assistance.
The Louisiana Salesperson Exam costs $85 and is payable directly to PSI via credit card.
Step 4: Take and Pass the State Exam
The Louisiana state salesperson exam is divided into a national and state section with a total of 135 questions.
The Salesperson Pre-licensure Exam includes:
The exam includes multiple-choice questions.
You are notified on-screen immediately if you passed or failed. You’ll also be given an official score report with your score and any diagnostic information. The exam report will also be reported to the Louisiana Real Estate Commission.
You must pass both portions of the exam before moving onto next steps with your license. You have one year from your initial exam to pass both sections before the LREC closes your application.
Step 5: Order Your Background Check
All applicants must order a background check through Clearbox at LREC website. Payment is accepted via credit or debit card. The name on the card must match the name on your application.
Your background check is only good for 180 days. The Commission advises you to wait to pass your real estate exam before ordering your background check. Your license must also be issued within the 180 days, so time your submission with the next steps. The nonrefundable fee paid to Clearbox is $49 when paid online or $75 when mailed by check.
Step 6: Acquire Errors & Omissions Insurance
Louisiana requires all real estate salespersons to have a current E&O policy before receiving an active license.
You must submit proof of insurance with your salesperson license application part B. You can either choose the LREC group policy serviced by RISC or pick an independent plan. The group policy has a $136 premium plus $7 LREC transaction fee.
If you choose an independent E&O policy, turn in the Independent Errors & Omissions Coverage form and your declaration page.
Step 7: Submit Part B of Your License Application
You’ll simultaneously be working to submit your Initial Real Estate License Application - Part B. This step requires you to show E&O information and have a sponsoring broker sign and acknowledge you on the application form.
Once LREC approves your initial license, you will have 180 days to complete a required 45-hour post-license education course.
Following this final step, congratulations! You are now a Louisiana real estate salesperson.

Can I take the LA pre-license course if I'm still in high school?
The Louisiana Real Estate Commission requires you to be at least 18 years old and have a high school diploma or equivalent before applying for a license. Since you submit Part A of the application shortly after finishing the 90-hour pre-license course, you could take the course near the end of your high school education.
What are the requirements to apply for a LA real estate license?
You must complete the 90-hour pre-license course, pass the state licensing exam, order a background check, and obtain E&O insurance. You’ll send Part A and Part B of the license application. You must also be at least 18 years of age. You’ll need a sponsoring broker to get an active license.
Can I take the 90-hour LA real estate license course online?
Yes, many students prefer to take the course online because it is more affordable and flexible than in-person classes. As long as a state-approved education provider provides the course, you can take it online.
