I had a similar experience. This post originates from 2018 and here it is 2023. I applied through examination. I never had a conviction, but sent official court docs to CTS along with a statement and was approved to test. I thought since I sent everything once I pass I won't have an issue. Well I passed 12 May, receive my letter from IDPFR 17 May stating that I have passed, but am prohibited from practice until my license is issued. I thought this was normal until I spoke to an HR manager who stated that I should have something that allows me to temp practice until my license. How is it that I sent all documents to CTS and was approved to test, but now I check IDPFR and my education is pending, fbi failed/rejected, etc? I do not have anything else on my record so why does CTS not send documents to be cleared by IDPFR?
