Has the Georgia Board issued license numbers for those who passed this October. My application still says pending in status.
I have been checking every day at close of business and still no updates for me. Shows my permit status as "Pending" and the only item not completed on the checklist shows "Exam Score - Passing Grade" as "Unchecked". I figure based on what I have read here and other places that it may take some time. If I don't see any updates by COB Monday I will reach out to the SOS for an update. I feel like giving them a week is reasonable.
Update: Called SOS this morning, they need 15 to 20 days after receiving results to update the license. Smh more waiting.
Update: Finally got the license update on SOS website. I want to believe that my multiple calls and a submitted ticket did it. One can dream.
I'll let you know if the sit quietly and wait method works when/if my application is updated.
I have called twice and have gotten "we can't do anything. Your records say we don't have your results yet" response from the person answering the phone. Did you call the PLB specifically? Did you ask anything specific to get them to issue you a ticket? I'm about to call back and ask to talk to a supervisor.
What worked for me was calling the number on the bottom of the SOS website. It leads to an automated operator that you follow the commands to licensing and then further gives you the options for basically "nursing license" or "any other license". After selecting "other license" I was then directed to an actual person. I noted that all my application paperwork was submitted last May before sitting for the Exam and received notification of my passing exam score from NCEES on Dec 6 and noted that I could forward that for records if they needed it. I then noted that the only outstanding task on my application status was the review of passing exam scores. I asked if there was anything that I needed to do on my end and the representative then just said that they need to work on their end and that she would open a ticket. Within 24 hours I saw that my license number was issued on the SOS website.
What's frustrating/confusing to me is that my checklist has a complete date for exams scores as June 3rd. And the application status tool just says pending. Everything on the checklist says complete or N/A. I am calling the same number. When they call me back I will ask to open a ticket specifically.
The representative I spoke to this time was willing to open a ticket. Thanks for all the advice. Who knew the hardest part of the whole process was getting the SOS office to process documents.
