CPA Exam Scores
Exam scores are received quarterly from NASBA during the 3rd week of the months of January, April, July and October for the candidates who have passed all four sections of the Uniform CPA Exam.
Once the scores have been received, the application review process begins and may take three to four weeks to complete depending on the volume of candidates that have passed the exam. If additional information is required from the applicant, the Department will contact the applicant via the US Postal Service.
The CPA license will be issued to an applicant who has passed all four parts of the exam once it has been verified that all licensing requirements have been met. Once issued, the license will be mailed to the applicant via the US Postal Service. An individual may also search by applicant name to verify the issuance of a license on our License Search page.
