Licensure by Reciprocity

A Kentucky licensee interested in obtaining a license in a reciprocal state should contact that state. The state may require a Letter of Good Standing or a license certification of a Kentucky licensee to complete their application process.

An auctioneer, licensed in another state, who wishes to apply for license in Kentucky by reciprocity must meet the following requirements: 1) Resident of and licensed as an auctioneer for at least one year in a reciprocal state, and 2) A "Letter of Good Standing" or License Certification submitted with the application and fee. Current through 06/30/08, the reciprocal initial license fee is $230, unless otherwise noted beside the state listed below. This includes $30 to the Recovery Fund. The license is renewed and, if applicable, continuing education hours are reported in June.

The Board does not issue licenses for firms or companies. The licensee provides one business address. The license is printed and mailed to a licensee's business address. All other correspondence from the Board is addressed to the licensee's home/mailing address.
