How long will it take for RN license to be renewed in CA if done online?

Boomer MS, RN · Mar 23, 2017

My RN license expired on 2/28/2017, so it became delinquent. I renewed it online on 3/11/2017 , i completed the livescan fingerprinting and 30 CEU's .... i updated my address coz i had a change of address. Its been two weeks, and it still says Delinquent on the breeze website???
How long will it take for it to be renewed and be changed to an Active status? I have a new job pending and will be starting on April 10, will I be able to work if i just show a receipt that I have renewed it? I paid $235 for the renewal online and they already charged my credit card, and it still says delinquent.
Thank you....

I have renewed my CA license via snail mail many times, and the new license came in the mail quickly, arriving within two weeks. I would guess online would be even quicker. The fact that you were delinquent may slow any process. Lesson learned, I hope. I do not think you can practice until you have a valid license in good standing, which you don't have yet. All may be in the system by April 10 but better let your new employer know about the delay.

It looks like 2-4 weeks from what their website states. I wouldn't think a receipt would do much good ...you get charged whether your application is approved or denied.
