Department of State Announces
NEW LICENSURE
PROCESSING GUIDE
The Pennsylvania Department
of State (DOS) released its new
Licensure Processing Guide to
help dentists and other licensees
understand and navigate the
licensing process. The guide explains
the three phases of the licensing
process and the average length of
time each phase will take. The guide
also includes recommendations for
how to shorten processing times.
The dental licensing board is not
yet featured in the guide, but the
DOS is adding additional boards
on a rolling basis. In the meantime,
check out these three online
resources that will better prepare
you for renewing your license
in 2021.
