It can take several weeks. BVNPT is notoriously backed up. Many states do not issue paper licenses/cards any longer only using online listings

See if your license gets posted online. That should be sufficient to start until the card arrives. Even though my state sends out paper licenses, employers are mandated to verify licenses online with the BoN as theoretically the cards can be altered. This is good for the new grad who has the license number posted online and can apply for jobs. While my state participates in quick results, it takes 4-6 weeks for a license to be issued. It was a BoN rep that told me that once my license appeared online legally I could work.
