I'm not sure what happens after passing all the exams. Do I just wait for the license number to be mailed to me or is it uploaded online? I already sent in an application way back in January when I took the compounding exam. And I checked if I'm registered on the verification website but my name doesn't pop up yet. What do I do?

Call and check with your state board. In my state, exam results are posted online. Once they're posted, our licenses activate on the state board the following Friday, typically.

In all the states I'm licensed in they update your license to "active" which means you're a licensed pharmacist. They'll mail you the license in the mail and you will need to display it at your primary practice site.

Since you took a compounding exam in January, I'm guessing you're getting licensed in NY. Call the board of pharmacy and make sure they have everything and there are no issues. My application got slowed down by a few days because of an arrest that had to be reviewed, but my phone call helped get through that faster. Then just keep searching to yourself in the pharmacist license verification website. You'll pop up within two weeks of passing everything.

Wow thanks everybody! I'll give a call tomorrow morning

And congratulations on (eventually) joining the RPh club! We all bag on this forum on how easy the licensing exams are easy and that pharmacy school is a joke, but it is a meaningful accomplishment to be admitted to practice (if nothing else, just putting up with all the BS just to get a job is an accomplishment). Hope you have something lined up for work.

very state specific - I know I took a letter to my boss (we got the results in the mail - my state was backwards - way to go illinois) and told them to cancel the relief Rphs for the next day and to give me my pay raise.
