Why don't you look up Illinois ReaL Estate Commission on-line and find out how to get licensed there. What you do with your PA license depends on what you want to do with it if you think you'll need it in the future.

Go to The Association of Realtors in the town that you are moving to. They should have all the resources that you need.

Whether or not you keep your PA license, what's the chance that you'll move back? As long as you're licensed in IL, you can still receive referral fees so I'm not sure the PA license will matter if you're not going to be working in PA anymore. But things change, so consider carefully.

The DRE should be able to help you in Ill or your local board. Keep your Penn license until it expires...what else would you do with it anyhow?

It's been an age, and a day, since I was licensed... so I'm not sure what the process is, these days.  (I don't think they use stone tablets, anymore).

You can check on idfpr.com (Illinois Department of Federal Professional Regulation)... which is our licensing body.... or iar.com (Illinois Association of Realtors).

Calling Lyn Sims, Alan May and Corinne Guest.... 

The State licensing board will provide information on licensing in Illinois.

Unless you plan to remain licensed in PA, then keep it. If not, check the PA website and follow the steps to make the license inactive. 

Nina Hollander gave you the best advice Gail Weidner HOWEVER I'm a phone call guy. I'd rather pick up the phone and call the Illinois Real Estate Commission and ask them to explain the process to me as well as email me the information and links that could help me achieve that goal.

Nina's right.... everything will be online.... make sure you look into keeping your license in PA.... they may require that you are a resident there...

Go on the Illinois Real Estate Board website or call them to find your answer

Gail,

You have wonderful advice here, Nina Hollander advice is what I would do also.  Wishing you all the best in your move to Illinois.  A

I'd google Illinois Department of Licensing and go from there.

Here you go - here's the Illinois Deparment of Licensing Real Estate Division.

I didn't spend too much time on it but I did see a link for Transfering a Lic on the website as well.

I know nothing about Illinois.  For PA I'd suggest considering keeping the license active (just not be a member of any association there) so you can refer any past clients and get a regular commission.

If Illinois is a reciprocating state they'll allow you to transfer your PA license there. I would contact the Board where you are going & see if it's possible & if so get the paperwork going, 

Check to see if you have reciprocity with that state, but even if so, it may not work if you become a resident there (might allow you to keep your PA license).  Check with their state agency that regulates real estate licencing. You may have to start from scratch, classes, tests, etc.

Google some Illinois Real Estate Schools and contact them. Like Lyn Sims , do not believe there is any receiprocity. Courses now available online to get you off to a quick start. If you know where you are going to be living you can contact the local board to get an application. Good luck!

Short of going direct to the Department of Licensing in Illinois, you can contact any Designated Broker in the town you are relocating to and they can guide you. It doesn't mean you have to hang your license with them when you do pass the licensing test. 

As for your PA license, you can keep it active until it expires.  Your IL license will be good for compensation through referrals.

Go to Illinios Real Estate Commission,  I would keep Pennsylvania for at leat a year yet.

The real estate commissions in the states will provide the information you need.

Go through the normal licensicn process, and until you get your new license in hand you can likely still use your old license to send out referrals to agents in PA.

moth ball your PA license.

illinois+real+estate+license+reciprocity

It looks like u are out of luck. Go after a broker license not salesman type.

No idea. 

I would look on-line and see what the commission requires, and you may need to work under someone, so a broker can assist too.

 Lots of good advice given.

Call the real estate commission.

Is this a serious question?
