Please be advised that we began conducting a system transition to the Pennsylvania Licensing System (PALS) on October 1, 2016.   As the transition continues, please be advised that candidates may experience a delay in processing times due to the system upgrades. You must register on the PALS website at www.pals.pa.gov prior to applying for any license.  We appreciate your patience and apologize for any inconvenience during this system transition.

If your license is expired, you must contact the Board Office to request a reactivation application.  You may contact the Board Office by phone (717-783-3397) or email (st-funeral@pa.gov).  Please provide your license number and full name as it appears on your license when calling or emailing the Board office. If you do not know your license number, you can search for your personal or salon/shop license at https://www.pals.pa.gov.
