I decided to fly out to Sacramento On March 18th to attempt to get my License paperwork done In Person. I will be updating this thread based upon what I find. I don't see any threads doing this.

3/20/2015Yea. I fave family there in Sac and want to see San Francisco. Atleast they will have my application in hand rather than in the mail and it will start eliminating variable that could affect the license process.

So my flight is on the 18th. I will land. Rent a car. go to the BON.

What I will have on hand are:

1. Application(Typed and filled)

2. Passport photos

3. MONEY ORDER NOT CHECK

4. Copy of sealed transcripts(along with the ones mailed directly to them)

5. Nursesys scan has been sent a week ago.

6. Copy of livescan paperwork(Typed)

I will be applying for temp and permanent.

They will have everything for temporary on file, however the difference for the permanent paperwork has to be evaluated on paper.

3/23/2015

Submission date was 3/20/2015. It says awaiting educational history. Even though I gave everything in person. They are probably still a little backed up. its been less than week though

3/30 I received a message saying I missed one transcript which I did. I did get it forwarded.

4/6 Temp License issued. I got it in 12 business days!!!!!

There have been lots of discussions! What you really need to do there is your Livescan fingerprints and that can be done anywhere in California. Going to the board with your initial application will not speed things up. Probably won't hurt though.

Wow, how on earth did you get it done so fast? I've heard of it taking usually 6 months for them to complete them. I've even had a friend last year who flew out there and it still took month and months!

I applied in September 2014. I just got my permanent license this month April 2015. I wish I had whatever magic you had working for you.

Good business deduction if you need it....

Sure! The more you spend, the more you save!

More seriously, if you are time constrained, flying saves time of course. I was simply making a joke, the BON does not consider your mode of transport when issuing licenses.
