Reciprocity vs. Conditional Reciprocity License Application
Reciprocity Application – the licensure process cannot be completed until the return of the background check from the Division of Criminal Investigations this process can take up to four to six weeks to complete.
Conditional Reciprocity Application – a 90-day Conditional License can be issued on a notarized hard copy Conditional Affidavit is received in our office. The Conditional Affidavit states that you have submitted the fingerprints to DCI for processing and that there will be no adverse actions noted on your background check. Once your background results are received, a full-term license will be issued.
