Do I have to get licensed within a given period of time after passing all four parts of the CPA Exam? I wonder if this is somethings only certain states have, or if it is universal amongst all states.

I am mainly interested in the case for California, but general answers are appreciated as well. Thanks.

Any more state info? MA?? I can't find it in the CMR (Code of Mass. Regulations) or MGL (Mass. General Laws) at all.. I guess I'll email the board again.

REG 56, 71 | FAR | AUD | BEC 69

For CA, you have 5 years (see bottom of page 17 of the pdf below) after passing the CPA exam and 2 years after passing the Ethics exam.
See http://www.dca.ca.gov/cba/publications/applbook.pdf
Hope this helps.

REG 93
BEC 87
AUD 98

@ Almond...

I wrote the Board in MA, and got a response basically saying as long as you comply with the educational requirements within 3 years of passing all four parts the scores themselves will never expire. For me, I passed in August but won't be finished with the education until December - but once I finish in December I don't think my scores will ever be stale dated...

BEC = 86 (Aug 2010)
REG = 82 (Nov 2010)
AUD = 87 (May 2011)
FAR = 91 (Aug 2011)
