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.
