Is citizenship required to be licensed with TREC?

To obtain a license from the Tennessee Real Estate Commission (TREC), citizenship is not a requirement. This means that non-citizens, including legal residents and those with certain immigration statuses, can apply for and receive a real estate license in Tennessee. The emphasis is placed on the applicant meeting other qualifications, such as completing the necessary education and passing the licensing exam, rather than their citizenship status. This inclusive approach expands opportunities for individuals wanting to engage in real estate activities within the state, regardless of their citizenship.

Other options might imply varying restrictions based on citizenship, which would not accurately reflect the licensing requirements set forth by TREC. Therefore, understanding that citizenship is not a barrier is essential for prospective applicants in the real estate field.
