State Board of Court Reporting

Phases and Timelines


 

Court Reporting Application Phases and Timeline

Phase I

Current Timeframe:
1 week

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


Phase II
Current Timeframe:
2- 4 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 on average 1-3 weeks from the date of your fingerprint appointment.

Applications with criminal history or requiring additional Board review may add an additional 6-8 weeks to Phase II. The Board meets approximately every other month.

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 week

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