PERC Applications

We can process your fingerprints for $120, but you must complete the PERC application on your smartphone or home computer.
If you’re looking to start working as soon as possible, we recommend applying for your license immediately. The application process takes about 15-30 minutes. Once submitted, it typically takes the IDFPR 4-6 weeks to activate your license. After your fingerprints show a status of “Eligible,” you can complete the application and then schedule an interview with one of our hiring managers.
For detailed instructions on submitting your PERC, please refer to our PERC Application Guide.
