FAQ
What are the 6 steps to get a license?
The generic licensing road has six steps: (1) check your state requirements, (2) complete the required training, (3) pass the background check, (4) register for the exam, (5) pass the exam, and (6) register your license with the state board. Every career on LicenseFig follows this same road — only the details of each step change.
Is the progress saved between visits?
Yes — checked steps are saved in your browser’s local storage on this device only. Nothing is sent to a server, and clearing your browser data removes it. You can also print the card at any point.

Are the steps the same in every state?
The six steps are the same in structure, but the details — education hours, exam vendor, background check and fees — are set by each state board and change over time. Always verify the current requirements with your state board before paying for a course or exam.
