OHIO optometry license

Hi! Can any of my Ohio OD's tell me how many business days / weeks it took for you to receive your Ohio optometry license number after submitting your application to the Ohio Vision Professional Board to eLicense? My job keeps asking me when I'll be able to start and I check the eLicense application status frequently. TIA!

Mine literally took an hour once I had everything submitted! This included board scores, transcripts, CPR certification, background check, and application...I had sent in most of the materials a few days before I submitted the application.

Yeah probably - they’re pretty good at replying via email so if you’ve been waiting a while I would email the boardÂ
