Hello All,

I mailed in application for licensure and the tracking shows that CBA had received it on Sep 16th. I read it on the CBA website that they would send me an acknowledgement card that my application has been received. Thus far I have not received anything from them and I would like to know if any of you guys have received acknowledgement card. How long does it usually take for them to notify you after you have mailed the application?

Below is I quoted from the CBA website.

How do I know the status of my application?

The CBA takes the following steps to keep you informed of the status of your application:

For your privacy protection, CBA staff are not authorized to provide information regarding the receipt of or status of your application or documents by fax, e-mail or telephone.

Upon receipt of the application, the CBA will send you an acknowledgment card that your application has been received. The acknowledgement card is included in application packages mailed directly from the CBA to the applicant. It is the applicant’s responsibility to self-address and return the acknowledgment card to the CBA with the application for licensure. The acknowledgement card is not available on the CBA’s website. Therefore, CBA staff will address the acknowledgment card for applicants submitting an application downloaded from the CBA website.

The CBA will mail a status letter following staff’s initial review of the application. This letter will advise you of any outstanding documents required to complete your application.

If your application is not yet completed, the CBA will send a second status letter advising you of any remaining documents still outstanding approximately 60 days following receipt of the initial application.

Applications with outstanding documents following issuance of the 60-day status letter will be placed in a pending status. If subsequent documentation is submitted to the CBA, the pending application will be reactivated, and an additional status letter will be sent.

When all documents have been received to complete your application, the CBA will mail a letter advising your file is complete and is in the review process.

My acknowledgement card showed up the day before my license approval letter, which was probably six weeks or more from when I mailed it, they didn't even cash the check for like four weeks. I emailed them around weeks four, and they wrote back that they received it, so you can always go that route.

On a side note, my license number showed up on the CBA license lookup before my actual certificate came in the mail
