Hi JW417,

I was wondering if you were ever able to go through the process of attaining your PR license? If so, could you shed some light on the process? Feeling a bit lost, even after combing through the forum here! Thanks so much.

Yes it's such a process! I'm still trying to figure out if I apply and obtain my license in PR will I lose my existing license in the states? Have you found out any information on that yet?

let me show you what I have found. I came across this lady's email in my search and so I took a chance and she sent me a email after a few days with the necessary information. I hope this helps you too! Here was the email I found/used

Good Luck! :)

Thank you so much for the information! I will email her as well. It's difficult to find out information on the process via the internet. I am pretty sure that you will always have your license in the States as long as you keep paying for it! However, since PR doesn't endorse US licenses I am wondering if that is actually different.. ah so confusing!

I found the form that you have to fill out to take the revalida here: http://www.cpepr.org/images/PDF/HOJA%20DE%20REPASO%20II-2015.pdf

It is only in Spanish though, not sure if you are Spanish-speaking. I hear that we can take the exam in English though? When are you planning to move? I would PM you but I don't have the ability to do that yet :) Keep me updated though on what more you find!

By the way, you won't lose your current license as long as you keep it active by doing the yearly fee and keeping up on your CEs. You could essentially have multiple active licenses in however many states if you wanted, I believe.
