WI boards and not a WI resident?

Published

Hi Everyone,

I am currently attending UWO and will be graduating soon. I had planned to simply take my boards in CA where I am from but thought since I went to school at UWO is might be easier to take them in WI.

However, does anyone know if they will approve me to be able to take them if I state I am NOT a WI resident and I have no plans to become one?

That is one of the questions on the application so I was just wondering.

Thanks!

I graduated from school in California, was a resident of Illinois and I sat for my boards in Wisconsin. It was not difficult and I found their BON to be very "user" friendly.

Good luck.

A Question on the application is:

What is your state of primary residence?

And then, Do youplan to become a WI resident?

Did you write California and select no? Or did you select yes?

I don't plan to become a WI resident. I would just like to get my license here to make it a faster process and then apply for license by endorsement in CA.

I am concerned that if I say I am a CA resident and then select No, I don't plan to become a WI resident that they will deny me.

Hey there,

I answered "no" regarding becoming a resident of WI and I answered "no" regarding" taking boards in CA.

It seemed that it was more for statistical purposes than anything.
