Temp License Processing

Applications for temporary licenses are processed in the order they are received. If you qualify for a temporary license, allow 30 business days for processing. The temporary license will be mailed to the address on your application. A temporary license can be held at the Board for pick up if you submit a written request with your application.

Applicants holding a current multistate license from another compact state should not request a temporary license, but can use their compact state license for up to 90 days until an Arizona permanent license is issued.
