IDFPR: License Application (Failed/Rejected)

Published

I live in Chicago and I recently passed my NCLEX on 8/2, I received the unofficial results from Continental Testing on 8/4. I received my passing letter on 8/11 and sent my registration with the check in that same day. Today, I randomly found the login site for IDFPR and it says my "New Initial Application; Requirement (verify Fees); Requirement Status (Failed/Rejected)" on 8/8. 

I have no previous and/or current criminal history and I have passed all of my background checks. I wondered if anyone else has gotten this? I read a similar case on here and someone suggested it was more to do with processing the $50 fee. 

If anyone has any insight or experience with this, your feedback is appreciated.

Hey! Congratulations on passing! I passed 7/26, sent my money order on 8/7 and my online status states the same. From my research, it basically just means they haven't processed your fee yet. It really should just state "pending" instead of worrying people. ?

Congrats to you as well!! Thanks for the feedback. I spoke with IDFPR on Monday and they confirmed that is means payment hasn't been processed yet.

I agree with you, they should just put "pending" to alleviate the unnecessary worry and/or freakouts their current verbiage elicits!

Oh OK great LOL. Any feedback on the wait? Of course most of my classmates got theirs in like 2-3 weeks and I'm still waiting ?. I said I'll give it a few more weeks before going to Springfield because the job I have lined up isn't letting me work license pending.

A classmate of mine went to Springfield on Wednesday, it was a no go ? She was told that her that all she had left was to have her $50 check processed, and that could take 6-8 weeks from the time the check was received. She was also told that they couldn't expedite it. 

Most of the people I know took their NCLEX within a week or two of me and we are all still waiting. I also am not allowed to start license pending. 

It will happen, we will get there, it is a lesson in patience. Enjoy your weekend and fingers crossed we all get our licenses next week!

Aw that's unfortunate. I've heard of quite a few success stories so I still plan to try my luck if necessary but hopefully they come shortly ??.
