Default reciprocating florida pharmacist license to georgia

I'm trying to apply for a license transfer from FL to GA.
Did anyone try to transfer their FL license to GA? I need help!!
do they require any exam other than MPJE? and do they accept transfers from FL? the Board and the NABP are giving me the run around and no one is giving me a straight answer. I heard the law changed a couple of years ago allowing transfers from FL to GA but not sure.

Thank you

They do accept transfers from florida, I believe you would have to take the mpje for georgia and also the wet-lab exam.

Actually not sure about wetlab if you have a license already. This is what I found so far from the Georgia board of pharmacy.

q: What are the Reciprocity Licensure requirements?
a: Submit an application and the required fee. License transfer applications are available via NABP. It may take up to six (6) weeks to process your application by the NABP. Once this process is complete the NABP will mail your official Georgia application to you. Register and pay the required fee to NABP to sit for the MJPE.

Submit your official Georgia application with the required $300 total fee in two (2) separate checks one for $250 and one for $50 ($250 non-refundable application fee, and $50 non-refundable decorative wall certificate fee).

Applicant must reciprocate from the first state in which he/she was licensed by examination. That states license must be current and in good standing.

I am also in the process of reciprocating from FL to GA. You only have to take the MPJE, no wet lab.

But do you still have to have to keep your FL license active?? Is it possible to still obtain a GA license if you have only passed the naplex but have not taken the FL MPJE? Can you just take the GA MPJE and avoid the wet lab all together? The wet lab is only offered so many times a year....so what happens if you miss it, how can you get licensed?

If you are trying to get licensed in Georgia by using your naplex scores then you have to take the wet lab...it s better to take Florida first then transfer your license to Ga...it will cost more though

The law is same for all states; you must reciprocate your license using your primary state, which is California.

True, but Georgia only allows it if the state that you are reciprocating from would accept a transfer from Georgia under similar circumstances
