- Updating you on what's going on
Beginning February 24, 2012, the Department will no longer collect any examination fees. Persons who wish to schedule an examination will be directed to the examination vendor's website for payment and scheduling. The examination vendor is PearsonVUE. This new process allows persons to test without first submitting an application with the Department, although the option of applying first remains. This change will improve customer service by speeding up the examination process since there will no longer be the requirement to apply for an examination-only application with the Department and become authorized before taking the exam. The Bail Bond application process has not changed and Bail Bond applicants must first apply for a license and become authorized before scheduling and paying for the examination.
This upcoming process improvement will lead to the examination cost dropping to $42 per exam, which is a 25% savings. The cost savings exemplifies our mission to keep more of your hard-earned dollars in your pocket, where it belongs.
Please note that passing an examination does not mean the person will automatically qualify to obtain the license.
