Paperless Licensing, effective 07/08/2019
The Department of Business and Professional Regulation is excited to announce an advancement in how we license cosmetology in the State of Florida.
The Department has implemented an innovative way to expedite the licensing process for cosmetology. The Department will no longer be mailing licenses upon issuance, as licensees can now print licenses by logging into a secure online account with the Department.
This will allow new licensees to enter the workforce at least 7 to 10 business days early, whereas, in the past, they would have to wait for the license to arrive in the mail. In addition to new licenses, this process will allow licensees to renew online and print the license at their convenience, as well as print duplicate licenses as needed without paying a fee.
