Louisiana requires 90 hours of pre-license education and passage of the Pearson VUE exam (80 national questions in 105 min + 55 state questions in 75 min = 135 scored total). Both sections require 75% to pass. Louisiana is a civil law state — it uses terms like 'immovable property,' 'Act of Sale,' and 'usufruct' instead of common law equivalents. Key Louisiana topics: LREC structure (R.S. 37:1430), mandatory E&O insurance (no recovery fund), community property for married couples, authentic acts before a notary, annual renewal by December 31, 12 hours CE, and fingerprint background check via IdentoGO. Pearson VUE replaced PSI as the testing provider in 2025.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many questions are on the Louisiana real estate salesperson exam?
The Louisiana exam has 135 scored questions: 80 on the national portion (105 minutes) and 55 on the Louisiana state-specific portion (75 minutes), for a total of 180 minutes. You must pass each section with a score of 75%. Pearson VUE administers the exam, having replaced PSI as the testing provider in 2025. There may also be a small number of unscored pretest questions embedded in the exam.
What education is required for a Louisiana real estate license?
Louisiana requires 90 hours of LREC-approved pre-license education (reduced from 150 hours in recent years). After completing the education and passing the exam, applicants must submit a license application to LREC with a $90 application fee, obtain Errors & Omissions (E&O) insurance, and complete a fingerprint background check through IdentoGO. E&O insurance is mandatory — Louisiana does not have a recovery fund.
What makes Louisiana real estate law unique?
Louisiana is the only U.S. state based on civil law (Napoleonic Code) rather than common law. Key differences include: real property is called 'immovable property'; property transfers use an 'Act of Sale' (a notarial act before a notary public); easements are called 'predial servitudes'; community property rules apply to married couples; and the concept of 'usufruct' (right to use and enjoy another's property) is common in estate planning. The parish system replaces counties, and mineral rights can be separately owned under Louisiana law.
When must Louisiana real estate licenses be renewed?
Louisiana real estate licenses expire annually on December 31. To renew, licensees must complete 12 hours of LREC-approved continuing education (CE) each year. Salesperson licensees who wish to upgrade to broker must have at least 4 years of active salesperson experience and complete 150 hours of LREC-approved broker pre-license education, plus pass the broker exam.
