If you are starting a second career, confidence and pacing matter. Transferring a license starts with your current state and its agreement with Florida.
A steady plan helps you learn the material without rushing. If your state is not covered by mutual recognition, you will likely need Florida pre-licensing and the full exam.

- Determine whether your state has mutual recognition with Florida.
- Gather proof of license status and any good-standing letters.
