4. A license (history) certification issued
from the real estate commission of the state or jurisdiction from where

for a Missouri license.
(3) The commission may issue a nonresident
license to a partnership, association or corporation organized and licensed as
a real estate broker under the laws of another state or jurisdiction, provided

do business in this state.
(4) In addition to the specific requirements
set forth in this rule, every applicant for a nonresident license must meet all

the same type of license. After licensure, a nonresident licensee shall be
subject to and shall comply with all provisions of the license law and these
rules.
(5) The commission may waive
the examination prescribed by the license law for a nonresident individual duly
licensed in any other state under the laws of which a similar exemption is

licensing exists between the licensing authorities of the states
involved.
