# South Dakota broker associate license

South Dakota uses broker associate as its entry real estate credential. The applicant completes 116 hours of prelicensing education, passes the examination with the required score and applies under the Department of Labor and Regulation rules.

Statewide license Reviewed October 2, 2026

## Credential requirements

### Broker associate license; applicant must be at least 18 and meet the South Dakota citizenship/residency and character requirements stated by the Department.

1.  #### Education
    
    Complete the required 116-hour South Dakota broker-associate prelicense curriculum through approved education.
    
2.  #### Exam
    
    Pass the South Dakota real estate examination with at least 75 percent as stated by the Department's license requirements.
    
3.  #### Experience
    
    No prior experience is required for the entry broker-associate license; responsible-broker progression has separate experience and education requirements.
    
4.  #### Application
    
    Submit the Department application, fee, education and examination evidence, identity/residency or citizenship documentation and any current character or broker-affiliation documents requested for an active license.
    

**Good to know:** The Department's license-types page is the current practical checklist; confirm application fees and any background-check instruction before filing.
