DID YOU KNOW? The licensure process can be delayed by several factors, mainly stemming from the wait for crucial documents from applicants. These include background screening results, records of criminal and disciplinary history, license verifications, transcripts, and continuing education certificates. Exam results can also cause delays, as some professions permit applicants up to one year to complete exams. Seasonal trends also affect processing times; the busiest periods for applications, typically due to graduation seasons, occur during the fall and spring semesters, while renewal peaks occur in evennumbered years.
