What will happen once I arrive at your office?
First, a staff member will direct you to a computer station where you will complete an on-line application form (please note: it is not necessary to complete an application form in advance of your appointment). Once you have completed your online application, it will be reviewed for completeness and notarized. The final steps will be to take your photograph and electronically scan your fingerprints.
How long will it take for the Department to process my application?
By law, The Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services must either issue a license or deny an application within 90 days of receiving a complete application. However, the actual turnaround time will ultimately depend on the workload facing the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services employees in Tallahassee and may be substantially less than 90 days.
