Lvn license waiting period???

Published

Hi Everyone! I took my LVN exam last June 24, had a good pop up and received the letter already from BON stating that I passed. I already turned in the $150 initial license fee also. I checked the BON website to verify my license but my name is not posted yet. I checked on BreEZe but my name wasn't there too. I was just wondering how ling is the waiting period before I get to have my physical license. Thank you in advance.

It probably depends on your state, they seem to vary a lot

The OP is in California, which is one of the slowest states when it comes to licensing issues. Another four to six weeks might elapse before you are issued a license number and your name appears online.

Be mindful that this is a busy time of the year for the CA BVNPT due to graduations and masses of initial licensure processing.

Hi @Nalencars

I'm still waiting for my physical copy of my license. How about you? When did you get your official result from the board? I called the BVNPT to ask the status of my license like a week ago, and they told me that it will take another week. So I'm giving it until the end of this week.
