A Criminal History Notification Form is required for all applicants. Some forms may be required, depending upon the license type.
Here, you select the supporting documents you will be including. Remember, all applications require a criminal history attestation form. Those of you intending to take a class and test at a regional school must select a conditionally approved application and upload your regional school registration form.
Applicants requesting a Conditionally Approved application will have the opportunity to upload their confirmation of registration

Time to pay!
You will be able to pay within the application. It will take you to “e-pay”. If you are a veteran and have the fee waived you can skip this step by selecting the appropriate box. Keep in mind that after paying you must return to the application. Payment submittal does not submit your application. Get your voucher number from e-pay , you will need it to finish your application.
Selecting the military veteran box, exempts them from having to pay for the license at this time.

Hi John,
Please do not send the documents in separately. We receive an abundance of paper and electronic information and it is very difficult to match them together if submitted separately. If you did not submit all of the required documentation with your eApplication, this will delay the approval process but you can help by responding promptly to any deficiencies sent to you to prevent further delays in your application.
Your eApplication has been received and will be logged into the queue for review. Your application will be processed in 6-8 weeks.
Available Training Providers and Courses
If you have any questions, please contact the TCEQ Occupational Licensing Section.
