NASBA sends your passing sheet that lists your 4 passing scores and the date you took them to your state board. Your state board then has to send out a packet to you. If I were you, I would call your state board and ask them when you can expect to receive your packet.<br/><br/>In the meantime, if your state requires an ethics exam - buy it and take it...your state BOA website should list all of that.<br/><br/>Jeff I got my passing confirmation last Saturday January the 10th (I took the exam in Oct and got my score in Nov).

In the meantime, if your state requires an ethics exam – buy it and take it…your state BOA website should list all of that.

Is it unusual to take them four weeks to get this information out?

Times are tough and NASBA/AICPA need more money. The more candidates who fail one section after passing another, the more re-registration fees they collect. My explanation?
