  • Pass the state test: The exam requirements vary by state, but generally you can expect anywhere from 50-200 multiple choice questions, and the exam will be timed. You may also be required to pass a background check.
  • Get fingerprinted: There is usually a fingerprinting technician on-site where you go to take your exam.
  • Apply for the license: If you pass the test, you can apply for your license. It will probably take a few weeks before you receive it.
