    Can someone whose attest certification was signed off by non-California CPA when they applied for the license chime in and share when CBA sent that form the licensing handbook mentions?

    CBA has yet to mention anything relating to “Out-of-State Supervisor License Verifications” the handbook mentions below so far after I applied for the license.

    They did the initial review and told me I missed checking off a box and when I asked if that was the only open item, they said that’s all they found so far and said that it’ll take 3 weeks to process the updated copy of the application I sent via email and 8 – 12 weeks for final review.

    From handbook –

    Out-of-State Supervisor License Verifications
    If your experience is obtained outside of California, the CBA requires written verification
    from the out-of-state licensing body with which the supervisor holds a valid active
    license to practice public accountancy. The CBA will send you a verification form that
    must be mailed to the out-of-state licensing body issuing the supervisor’s CPA license.
    An official seal of the out-of-state licensing body issuing the license to the supervisor is
    required on the signed document. It is your responsibility to provide the fees associated
    with the completion of the verification. A verification for an out-of-state signer will not be
    sent until such time as an application for licensure is received by the CBA.

    FYI – I got my experience requirement fulfilled @ a public accounting firm based in Colorado if that helps.

    My experience was signed off by a Texas CPA, but it's non attest experience. I got the letter that they needed verification from Texas about 4 to 6 weeks after I sent the experience form. It's not a generic form that you can download, the CBA fills out a form for you to forward.

    If you're looking to expedite I'd recommend calling the CBA to see if they can send you a PDF copy of the form. Or maybe just scan it if you get one via email. The Texas board had me send it via email and they turned it around and sent it to California in a day.

    Thank you, Hosmer. I just asked CBA via email to send over that form asap. 🙂
