Application Processing Times
Our goal is to get you licensed and able to work as soon as possible.
We aim to issue a permanent license or temporary practice permit within 7 days of getting your complete application.
Some applications may take longer if:
- There is a "yes" answer on any of the Personal Data questions.
- The background check report is flagged.
- It requires an education review*.
- It is missing any supporting documents or requirements.
*If you completed your education outside of the United States, we need to review your official transcripts or education evaluation.
