Going to the NJ BON in Person for License

Published

Just wondering if anyone has had success going in person to the NJ BON to expedite a license. I’m getting nervous because I start a new job soon and still do not have my compact license I applied for 2 months ago. I’ve been calling the BON practically every week but not much had been accomplished. 

Sorry to hear this. I would make the effort to go in person, and ask to speak to a license processor. Perhaps a piece of your application is missing or your fingerprints did not go through. How frustrating for you!

Some states have a reputation for being very slow at approving licenses; New Jersey is one of those states.

Interesting! People are saying that it takes 2-6 months to get a NJ Compact license approved. That is way too long! ?

Did you ever go in, in person? What was your experience?
