Q: How long does the Consumer Protective Service take to respond for a licensee with a criminal record?
I applied to get my licensure for physical therapy. The California Physical Therapy Board sent my application to Consumer Protective Services to review my criminal background and decide if I can get licensed. I was wondering what this process is typically like and how long it takes. Thank you in advanced.
A: I do not think anyone can answer this with exactness. The CA Bar licensing usually takes about 4 months and does not include folks *usually* with criminal records. It DOES have a LONG exam. IF it takes more than 6 months, I'd recommend you politely reach out to the body doing the screening, and to then ask them if they require any more information from you that may be helpful to them in making their decision. Good luck with it.
A: This is not a legal question. Contact the CPTB with questions about its licensing processes.
