PA BON nightmare

[zephyr9]

Frustrated by difficulty of resolving issues with them.  After being on hold for two hours, I just got disconnected. 

I need PA BON to verify my licensure to NY BON.  The state of NY has a form to verify out of state licensure.  They do not offer an option to receive electronic verification!   

It says in the PA BON portal instructions that you can request electronic verification once your search results for your own license come up, that you will have an option to request verification to be sent electronically.  I saw no such option.  The "print" and "bell"notification icons do not work.

I would just send and email the form to the PA BON, but it says no paper requests and that if sent they will be returned.  Also, I cannot find anywhere what the fee is for verification of licensure to out of state BON's.
I will drive to Harrisburg to resolve this, but not sure if they are staffed or if it is a drop box only situation.

Can't they just confirm your licensure through   Nursys.com ? I thought every BON used this site for verification. Apparently not. Just another reason for all of the states to join the NLC. Red tape is so unnecessary!

NY not part of the compact.  PA in process of implimentation: my name and PA/NJ/DE license status all seen at Nursys.com now with PA remaining active.
