......how long will it be before I am issued a license number??

I took NCLEX on September 16th and found out through Quick Results that I passed on Sept. 18th. Now, I am just wondering how long it will be before my license number is issued and shows up on the license verification website. I looked on there today and it still says "Unapproved Applicant" "Application in Process" under my name.

Anyone know approximately how long it takes from the time you pass boards until you are issued a license number?

Thanks

PA is super fast. Less than 24 hours. Mine was up the next am after taking the test the previous afternoon. Didn't even have to deal with Pearsonvue/quick results.

Seems state to state is different. I'm still waiting on the official paperwork to arrive, but heard that can take 2-4 weeks.

Maybe you could try to google your state with the search words how long for verification of license number or something.

Wondering the same thing here in NC. I found out my quick results Monday from Pearson Vue but NCBON hasn't listed my license yet. I am anxious to start my new job ! I put my 2 week notice in on Monday so kinda need my license before that date is up.:banghead:
