1. Any person who becomes an applicant for a nonresident license shall become subject to the same rules required of an applicant whose residence is in North Dakota.

3. A nonresident broker must maintain an active place of business as a real estate broker in the state of the broker's principal place of business. The nonresident broker shall furnish proof of maintaining an active place of business by submitting information deemed necessary by the commission. A North Dakota firm license shall be obtained if the company is a partnership, corporation, limited liability company, or association.
4. North Dakota will not recognize the licensee from another state for a reciprocal license unless an agreement granting reciprocal privileges to North Dakota licensees has been made by the commission with the proper regulatory authorities of that state. The agreement shall set out the terms and the regulations to be followed.
5. An applicant currently licensed in a nonreciprocal state who has successfully passed the real estate licensing examination given in another state need only take the state portion of the examination in North Dakota. Prelicensure course is not required if the applicant is already licensed in another nonreciprocal state.
