Cali license verification

Never thought of doing that but it could work. If you are currently local, walking in to ask that question is probably easier than calling. It will likely still have to be mailed by the BON so who knows what will happen when you walk out.

I had my temporary license in 5 days by "walking it through" and doing the livescan. Make sure you take the temporary license option if you want to work sometime in the next few months. My permanent license still took 3 months.

I just applied and their website states that they are not taking temporary licenses at the counter (in-person). Double check this before you go on a trip! I thought about doing that as well, but I'm currently in NM. I was lucky enough to get Livescan done when I went to Cali on a short trip. I bet it will still be 3 months, they have an estimated calendar posted on their site and 3 months is the average with Livescan prints.

Good luck!

The law requires a three month decision time frame in California when application is complete. And that was the average time frame a year ago. Today, some have their temp in hand (well... online) in as few as 4 days. That troublesome software the state installed some years ago may have finally been fixed.

If you apply for California license via mail, be prepared to wait 4-6 months for temp or permanent license. The BON in Sacramento is no longer giving out temporary licenses at the desk, but you can still apply at the desk for a temporary license. Complete a live scan in California and pay fees. That is what I did, and it took 2 months for me to get a temporary license. Oh and by the way, you probably already realized this...you will NEVER get them to answer the phone so that you can ask questions!!! Lol

you can get any BON to pick up the phone if you hit the correct prompt for lets say you want to report a violation. You get a live person the next ring. That person will then direct your phone call to someone that can actually help you. It worked for me in three different states. Get creative people

Not even California LVN board at some times.

I feel your pain,

I'm in the process of getting California to verify my license for Oregon. It's a 2 month process. Just check today, they are now at middle of March requests.

Make is difficult for us with Calf RN's to get an out of state license in a timely matter. Don't think walking paperwork would be any faster.

Most states understand California pitiful pace. NY issued my license in less than two weeks without the CA verification. They simply did not want to hold me up because of California is SLOW.
