Orthotics and Prosthetics Board of Examiners

Phases and Timelines


 

Orthotics and Prosthetics Application Phases and Timeline

Phase I

Current Timeframe:
1-2 weeks

Phase I is the estimated time between receipt of a completed application (online/paper) and the Board's initial review of the application and supplemental documentation. At the conclusion of Phase I, the Board will email you instructions to complete your fingerprints for the background check, and advise you of any application deficiencies.


Phase II
Current Timeframe:
3-5 weeks

Phase II is the estimated time between Phase I and the receipt of your background check results and any remaining application deficiencies.

Background check results are provided to the board by our vendor an average 1-3 weeks from the date of your fingerprint appointment.

Please note Phase II is contingent on applicant action and third party processing times. The estimated timeframe assumes the applicant takes immediate action when notified of application deficiencies.  


Phase III
Current Timeframe:
1-2 weeks

Phase III is the estimated time between Phase II and when the application is approved.

Please note, applications with criminal history or requiring additional board review will add an additional 4-6 weeks to Phase III.

Upon approval of your application, a congratulations letter and license fee invoice will be emailed to you. Once the license fee is paid, your license number will be issued and you should receive your hard copy license in the mail within 10-15 business days. To verify the status of your license and to view your license number, please visit our verification website.
