NCARB Record Evaluation

I passed my final ARE back at the end of October, and NCARB still has not transmitted my record to the state for licensure.  Has anyone else had to wait a super long time for their record to be evaluated?  A friend of mine finished his last exam shortly before me and they transmitted his NCARB record within 2 weeks.

I have reached out to NCARB a little while ago and they said my record is in the queue for evaluation and that it can take up to 30 days - however, as of today it's been 35 business days since I passed my last exam.  

Anyone else had this issue?

  I passed my last exam over a month ago and my record has not been transmitted yet. I was told by NCARB that it would take up to 30 days, but the email notification after my last exam says it could take up to 45 business days.

  Hey Hannah and Kyle,

  I recommend reaching out directly to NCARB Customer Service to check the status of your record.

  I passed the last exam in early October and my record was transferred early December. My state granted me a license the next day. Congrats on passing! The hard part is over, you just have to wait out the process.

  Thanks, Peter!  Glad to know that I'm not alone in the process taking some time, and relieved to hear I can expect some things to happen soon.

  Also, congrats to you (and Kyle) as well for finishing!

  I passed in early December (and finished AXP), and I'm at 30 business days but have not heard anything from NCARB.

  The FAQ page says, " If our evaluation indicates you have met the requirements for initial licensure in your selected jurisdiction, we will notify you via email.."  I have no reason to believe I have not met Pennsylvania's requirements, and yet NCARB has not notified me if I have.

  To make things worse, PA state offices aren't answering phones, and only has a generic email contact, so I can't speak to a real person there about the status on that end.  I keep getting notices on my state license account (PALS) to submit my NCARB record.

  Kathryn, I called NCARB customer service (after 30 business days) and my record was sent to Maryland within two business days after calling. Maryland took an additional week after the record was sent to allow me to submit the license application. Congrats on finishing the ARE!

  Kyle, thanks!  I called before posting and got a non-answer.  But this morning, I did get the NCARB email notice of record transfer.  Yay!  Not sure if this post had anything to do with it.
