The applicant must submit the completed application (i.e. for licensure, registration, etc.), expedited processing application, and the required fee. Upon receipt of the aforementioned items, the applicant will receive a response from a board staff member within five business days informing the applicant of the status of their application. If the application materials submitted do not contain all of the necessary documents to complete the application, the application will be reviewed on the following application review date and the expedited processing application fee will not be refunded.

Therefore, a verdict of denial may not be achieved within five business days of receipt of all application materials for expedited processing. Those applicants whom board staff determines should be approved will receive notification of approval within five business days.

C. Military personnel (active duty and veterans honorably discharged within 5 years of the application date) and their spouses who are appropriately licensed in another jurisdiction will receive a status update from the board within 30 days pertaining to approval or denial of the application. Such applicants must provide proof of military status via DD Form 214 as part of the completed application.
