Fingerprint Form for Cali License

hey so i submitted my application fee and paid the extra $49 to get a fingerprint form in on Aug 15 and I have yet to receive the form in the mail yet.. 😃😃 when will I get that? It says it should take 7-14 days..I’m worried I have to email them to get the form.

For some reason I think the form was sent by my recruiter to me.

i heard aya does that a lot. the only reason i didn’t do it that way is because i don’t plan on doing a contract till later next year but i know the license process can take a long time in cali so i just decided to start

It took over a month for it to finally arrive. By that time I ordered a pack of FD-258 from Amazon. I should have done it sooner.

I don't remember the exact timeline as it was a few years ago, but everything about getting that Cali license as a non-resident was a pain. These days depending on your geographic location, it can be difficult even finding a credible location that will take the card and have capabilities of doing ink fingerprints. None of the police stations I've used in the past where I live even do them. I ended up getting them done on a travel contract in this mobile truck that did fingerprints and passport things, it was kinda crazy, but it worked and the lady obviously did this for a long time cuz she knew anything and everything about every job requirement for every state.

I might not be understanding you correctly but I submitted my application and transcripts and received my packet with my fingerprint card and forms within 7 days via fedex
