I live in CA and I got my cPhT certificate on July.
I prepare every requirements and documents for register in CA state
and sent on July 4th.(or maybe 5th)
But still I couldn't get any respond.
Does anybody know how long it's going to be take for that?
two months? three months? Aw.. I can't wait.😕
 
If you sent all your stuff and did your Live Scan in July, you have definitely not allowed California bureaucracy long enough LOL... Just sit tight. If you're still wondering in a couple weeks, you can actually call the Board of Pharmacy (916-574-7894) and inquire. I think also there is something on ptcb.org that you can use to check, but I have never actually done that.

Mine took 7 1/2 weeks.
 
Yes, I'm so sorry to have to say that CA Board of Pharmacy is extremely slow in their processing. I've been told it's to do with budget cuts or something, but who knows. I turned mine in in June and I just got a letter today telling me that my fingerprints were rejected so I had to redo the LiveScan. Now it's going to take even longer. Good luck and make sure to follow up on your status to the board if it's been more than 2 months.

Did you have to pay for the Live Scan again too??

It's not just the BOP in CA but everything about the state, from what I have encountered, is extremely slow. I work for an insurance company and if there is 1 state I hate to deal with, it sure is CA.
