How long does it take to process my application?

Your application is considered complete once we have received your application packet, fee, and additional documents such as university transcripts, verifications from other states, or test scores. Upon receipt of all required documents, your application will be reviewed, approved, and your license will be issued. This process generally takes 6 to 8 weeks. If there are delays in receiving transcripts, verifications or test scores, or the information submitted is incomplete, the process may take longer.
