BOARD'S POSITION: Until you receive your printed license, it is the Board's position that you keep practicing as long as you have documentation that clearly shows a timely renewal was submitted. However, your employer may require you to have possession of your license to continue practicing. To ensure you receive your license prior to the expiration date, you should allow four to six weeks for processing, printing, and mailing.
