Hi ArtisticNurse, http://www.idfpr.com/Renewals/apply/FORMS/CGFNS_02.pdf According to link below, SSN is not required upon application, however, it will be required during renewal. Is my understanding correct? Because until now, even after I paid the $50 for licence application in Feb, my licence number is not even shown in the IDFPR website. I'm a bit worried already and yet it is very difficult to reach them. I'm currently in Singapore.
