SCAM ALERT
The Division of Consumer Affairs (Division) is warning all licensed professionals about individuals impersonating New Jersey Division of Consumer Affairs (DCA) investigators, Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) agents, DEA investigators, New Jersey Drug Control Unit investigators, Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) investigators, and other law enforcement personnel, as part of an extortion scheme.

The impersonators are contacting licensees by telephone or letter, stating that they are the subject of an investigation. The callers are demanding money to clear up the matter, or threatening to revoke the individual’s license. Please be advised that the Division of Consumer Affairs will not contact licensees by telephone to discuss investigations or demand money.

Anyone receiving a telephone call from a person purporting to be any of the above mentioned individuals seeking money, should refuse the demand. We encourage you to report the call to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) at ReportFraud.ftc.gov. You may also report the call to the Division at AskConsumerAffairs@lps.state.nj.us.

Phases and Timelines


 

Certified Psychoanalyst Application Phases and Timeline

Phase I

Current Timeframe:
Approximately 1 week

Phase I is the estimated time between receipt of a completed online application and the Board's initial review of the application and supplemental documentation, including documentation of qualifying certificates, affidavits, and transcripts.

At the conclusion of Phase 1, the Board will email you a letter that informs you of the remaining steps/tasks to complete your licensure process.

This may include information on fingerprints for the background check and jurisprudence exam information if applicable.

*Please note Phase I is contingent on proper documentation of qualifying certificates, affidavits, and transcripts. The estimated timeframe assumes the applicant presents all required documentation that can be approved and takes immediate action when notified of application deficiencies.


Phase II
Current Timeframe:
Approximately 4-6 weeks

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

Background check results are provided to the board by our vendor an average 2-4 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 appears for and passes jurisprudence shortly after approval, as well as takes immediate action when notified of application deficiencies.


Phase III
Current Timeframe:
Approximately 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 certificate fee invoice will be emailed to you. Once the certificate fee is paid, your certificate 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 certificate and to view your certificate number, please visit our verification website.
