PHN certificate timing

Good Afternoon Ladies and Gents,

Can I ask those of you who have a California PHN certificate how long did it take to

get? I sent my documents 2 moths ago (they confirm that they have everything and

they have cashed my check!), but still no certificate:no: I want to start applying for PHN

jobs!

Thanks for your help & have a great Monday!

I think I just read in another forum that they're quite backlogged, and it's taking about 3 months to receive it. Hope this helps!

Update for others who are waiting. I got it last week so I would say 20 weeks ish from the time I sent it.

It took me about 3 months. I sent in the application on September and I just got it this week. I would say 14 weeks.

I called yesterday. The BRN is currently processing end of August applications for PHN.
