How long did your CNO registration take?

Congratulations!

It took 18 days from the time my registration documentation was received. I lived 10 minutes from the CNO at that time, so I submitted my documentation in person.

Processing time varies.

Wow, quite a while. I had a temporary license that expired so I already have a registration number (technically), any clue if this might expedite things? Probably a question better suited for the CNO, however they're closed today so I can't call!

The CNO has many applicants. You can certainly call them, but the processing time will vary. They won't be able to provide you with an exact date, just the time frame that is already posted.

It took about 15 calendar days from when I mailed the application till I got the email with confirmation that I was registered.

I haven't received my registration forms yet because I wrote thejurisprudence exam after I got my CPNRE results. Are they going to mail the forms or should I call them?

I don't think it should take that long.. You could ask and check. Congrats!

I went to the CNO in person last Tuesday, and received my registration number this morning, so it took 7 business days for me

I mailed my application on March 23 by express post and was delivered the following day. Up till now, I haven't seen any activity on my credit card or my email. A friend who did the same a day earlier has got a receipt for her payment. Does anyone have an idea of the process. Though they say it takes up to 15 business days.

Can anyone tell me the process for registering? I am about to graduate and received the initial registration package from the CNO with another application for a temporary license.

Do I send the initial registration paperwork in now? Or do I have to wait until I get a temporary license job offer? Or wait until the CNO hears from my school that I have passed? The instructions are not very clear with regards to time lines.

You do not have to fill out the section for temporary licence except if you have been offered a job. All you have to do is fill out the section for general class along with your payment and send. I will advice you to make a copy before a filling and use that as a rough copy. After filling, you may also want to make a copy of it so that you are sure of what you filled in cos you will do it again when you pass your registration exam. Your responses must match.

My my number finally came in today. It took 10 business days. Thanks to all on this platform. Very informative and insightful.
