When you complete your exam a score report will be provided marked “pass” or “fail.” If you pass you will receive more information on how to apply for your license at that time.
Step 4: Apply for your license online with NIPR and complete other licensing requirements such as fingerprinting.

Applicants must make arrangements with their local law enforcement to obtain fingerprints. There may be a fee charged by law enforcement.
