How long are temporary licenses valid for?

Temporary licenses are typically valid until the Board of Pharmacy (BOP) approves or denies the full license application. This approach allows individuals to begin practicing while their application is under review, ensuring there is no unnecessary delay in their ability to work. The BOP will evaluate the application and make a decision regarding the issuance of the full license, and the temporary license serves as a bridge during this process. Thus, the validity of the temporary license hinges directly on the BOP's decision, rather than a fixed period like 90 days or 6 months. This system accommodates the often complex and lengthy review processes involved in licensing.
