What happens if an incomplete application packet is sent to the licensing authority?

When an incomplete application packet is sent to the licensing authority, it is standard procedure for the authority to return the packet to the applicant. This return often includes a notification or letter detailing the specific omissions or missing elements within the application. This process is in place to ensure that applicants are properly informed about what is required for their application to be considered complete and acceptable. The emphasis on communication about omissions allows for a clearer understanding and encourages compliance with the requirements necessary for licensure. This step is vital in maintaining the integrity of the application process and ensures that all necessary information is provided before any processing can occur.
