Anyone else on here waiting for a Louisiana license? I submitted my application and fee about three weeks ago and still no word back. I check the online license lookup everyday to see if anything has posted but nothing yet. Any idea on how long it will take? I’m ready to get my raise and I’m being impatient 🙂

Mine took about 8 weeks. I sent my application in on December 22 and my name appeared on the state board website on February 23. I got a letter a day or two later from the board letting me know I'm a licensed CPA, along with other info. My scrolled certificate came on March 21st.

Thanks for the reply! Can't believe it takes 8 weeks! This will be a long wait 🙁

I talked to one of the people after about 6 weeks had passed, and they were also working on renewals and CPE reporting at the time. Since all of that is reported at the end of the year and is probably a higher priority than new candidates, I'd assume that the rest of the year might not be as bad.

I really hope that's the case! I don't see why it would take longer than a few weeks, they've already verified our information to test in the first place. I have to say this whole CPA exam process has been entirely annoying and I'm ready to get it over once and for all! Thanks for the info!

I am also waiting. I check the registry multiple times a day…

I also found out that the cpa who signed off on my experience license expired on 12/31/15. I called and the woman said she hadn't gotten to my application but that the director looks for active license during the experience and will use his discretion. I had 8 years under him but my stomach is in a knot waiting.

Eek, hopefully they will work with you on that. If he was licensed during at least one year you worked for him I don't see what the problem should be. My coworker and i passed the exam on the same day and also submitted our applications on the same day. I called the state office today and the lady said my application had been reviewed and everything was fine but she was waiting on Nasba to send my scores….mind you I found out I passed on March 9th. A little ridiculous that Nasba can email our scores but it takes 4 weeks to send to the state? I have a feeling that someone isn't doing their job

I heard that in Louisiana, you have to wrestle your LA CPA License out of an Alligator's mouth.

That's probably why they asked if I could swim and if I was afraid of dying on the application! lol

I checked the site 5 times per day at first, which gradually increased to 10-ish. The license numbers are sequential, so if you know the highest number, you can see when they start adding new numbers. I know this because I waited and waited and checked and checked for a full month.
