What is the difference between a “conditional license” and a regular license? Will I be notified when it changes from conditional to valid?
Your license is a valid license at the time it is issued to you. Your license is not a “conditional license.” DPI may issue a license “conditionally,” pending a satisfactory FBI background check, but the license itself is not different from any other license. Because the DPI has no control over the length of time it takes the FBI to process fingerprints and provide the results to us, the statutes allow us to issue licenses before we receive the final outcome of this piece of the background check. If the information from the FBI is unsatisfactory or cannot be completed due to the applicant’s failure to provide fingerprints as requested, the license, which was issued conditionally pending receipt of a satisfactory background check, will be removed from our data base and the application for licensure will be denied.
