Anyone gone through this process with the FL board?

Is Endorsement like comity/reciprocity?
J
JasonT33
Yep, pretty much the same thing. I just recently completed my NCEES record and I filled out the FL paperwork for endorsement. The whole application process is pretty straightforward which is nice. I sent my application in the other day with the 230 fee and referenced my NCEES record number. NCEES forwarded my record to the FL Board for a fee of 60 bucks.
I was just wondering how long it takes to get approved. I think the next application review meeting is in March, but I am not sure if thats for endorsment applications or applications for PE and FE exams.
Thanks

I don't know just how it works in FL, but I would imagine once they deem your application complete, it'll go on the agenda for the next month's board meeting. That's how NH by reciprocity was for me.

Jason, There is a web site, myfloridalicense.com, and there is a link that will take you to an area where you can see updates about your application. With NCEES record it should be faster but I filled my endorsement application on Nov 7th 2006 and they approved it on Jan 26th 2007. They will send you a card,when everything is ready, telling you when will your application be reviewed by the Board.
Hope that helps...

Wow, 2.5 months huh? Ya hopefully it will go faster since I have a NCEES record.. that alone took almost 5 months to finish. Such a hassle.
How long did it take for them to get your name in the system for reviewing your application? They received my stuff a few days ago and my name is still not in the system.

I started mine about a month ago and am just waiting for the last 2-3 documents to get to NCEES.
Did they take a long time or was it your respondents were slow?

JasonT33
Ya it was more on the respondents end of things, but twice NCEES told me they never got my college transcripts, EIT, and PE info when I verified with the agencies that the information was sent. Strange. I after that, I kept on top of NCEES and emailed them and called like every other day to make sure they got the information and to make sure they update the application status page

Give the a couple of weeks, max. But, you will see on the web first when your license is approved.

I submitted my endorsment application on Feb 16th.. They put my name in the system and all the application items say "work in progress". I checked the calendar and the Florida Board meets tomorrow morning. Now will they review my application then? God I hope so because the next Board meeting after tomorrow is in May. I emailed the lady who handles the applications and asked if my application would be reviewed at the next Board meeting and she never gave me a straight answer. She says it typically takes 7-10 weeks to complete and that she hasn't reviewed it yet. I am not sure what she is reviewing, since the Board application review is tomorrow.
Anyone know how this works? Does the "work in progress" under application status mean that it will be reviewed tomorrow or does it have to say "complete" and then the Board reviews it? This is driving me crazy.. They have had my application for almost a month now.

I have an app via endorsement pending with the FL board right now. Some of the items are listed as complete and some as work in progress. But, I didn't have an NCEES record when I applied, so they didn't receive everything at once.
Hopefully they've got everything they need to proceed tomorrow.
My understanding is the lady reviews the application for completeness and then she'll give it to the board for consideration. She will only give them applications she has reviewed and deems complete. Then the board will evaluate the merits (education, experience, references, etc) of the application to decide wether or not to grant licensure.
Good Luck.

So if this lady doesnt have my whole application reviewed by the end of the day today, she wont give it to the board to review tomorrow? This is ridiculous.. According to the calendar, the Board wont meet again until May 15th I believe... I hope she reviews it today... I mean jeez, she has had it for a month and I had my NCEES record transmitted a month ago too.....
I am hoping she has reviewed it and will give it to the Board tomorrow....maybe she just didn't update the application status page yet. I think 7-10 weeks is a bit ridiculous don't you?

Per my experience with the FBPE: When all the documents are ready they will send you a card saying when the Board will review your application. They will also say that after that, and if everything is OK, it will take 6 to 8 weeks for the Board to send you your paper work (aka as certificate and wallet card) Be patient...ahhh...almost forgot...in the card they will also ask you to stop e-mailing them and/or checking on the web 
opcorn: I am not kidding you. Good thing is you will have your license number way before the paper work comes. I have had mine since January 30th, when my application was approved.Still waiting for the paperwork.Not in a hurry. I could not care less.
Good Luck my friends

I sent the application in around the end of January. But, I don't think all of the references and verifications made it until the middle of February.
I haven't received anything in the mail either. Looks like we might have to wait for the next meeting. :reading: :thankyou:

Great.. the next meeting is in May. Have you contacted anyone at the Board about your application? I corresponded with Frances Ingram a couple times, but didn't really get much out of it. She only told me it generally takes 7-10 weeks to get approval. I wish there was a way to see what applications are on the agenda today for review.
