Just thought I'd drop in a set of my own data and also add-in the measurements of the parchment (it's 8.5 inches X 11 inches) for anyone else who wants to know
Found out I passed my last exam on 10/08/20, applied online by 10/09/20 with all of my information EXCEPT Form 4B which needed to come from an old supervisor.
They didn't get that submitted until 11/29/20, my file was considered complete on 12/29/20, and my official application date was given to me of 12/31/20.
In late January 2021 – upon a few weekly repeat calls to the department over there, I found out my application was given initial approval and sent along to the processing queue for the board to review and approve which was granted on 02/09/21.
Was told at that point it takes 4-6 weeks processing time to run a background check as a final piece as well as getting the staff to post up an active license number online.
Note that after that happens OPUnit3 will tell you it can take up to 2 weeks after getting that active license number posted up to get your actual license documents in the mail – and that due to Covid-19, it could take longer.
My Active License number got posted on 03/09/21, right along their timelines…and then actually got my parchment – yesterday, which was a pleasant surprise.
Moral of the story as others have posted in here, you can call and be polite (always) as the staff will help you with regards to getting a sense of timing of how long this takes…and also dear god – get aligned with whatever supervisors you have on that Form 4B being sent along. My old one sat on it and I had to have weekly follow-up emails and a couple of phone calls to see it through and it cost me 2 months of waiting and probably an interview or 2 in the past couple of months because of annoying hiring managers and competition in the market for people having an active license vs. waiting for processing of one.
Total time from application for licensure to actively licensed: 5 months.
