Apply for a commercial agent licence under mutual recognition

Introduction

If you hold a current commercial agent licence issued in another eligible Australian state or territory, you can apply for the equivalent in NSW under mutual recognition.

Commercial agents who have face-to-face contact with customers are known as field agents and must hold a licence to:

• collect debts
• repossess goods
• serve legal documents on behalf of a client.

Note: If you're only wanting to work in NSW on a temporary basis and your commercial agent licence is from another state or territory (excluding Queensland) you'll need to apply for Automatic Mutual Recognition (AMR).

What you need

• the PDF form – 'Registration of Equivalent Occupation'
• your current interstate commercial agent licence
• 2 proof of identity documents – one must include your photo and both must be the original
• your payment.
