If you are unable to complete the application online, you may wish to print a blank application to complete and submit to the BCI. Before doing so, please be aware that it takes the BCI longer to process these handwritten applications, which may result in a delay issuing your license. Therefore, we encourage you to complete the Online Application (above) if at all possible.
