When can an application be accepted?

An application can be accepted only after passing the examination because this requirement ensures that applicants have demonstrated sufficient knowledge and understanding of the laws and regulations governing manufactured housing. The examination serves as a critical measure to verify competency in the field, reinforcing that only qualified individuals are permitted to hold a license. This step is crucial in maintaining professional standards and protecting consumers in the manufactured housing industry.

While background checks and registrations are important components of the licensing process, they typically occur after the applicant has shown they meet the necessary qualifications through the examination. This sequence helps ensure that only those with the requisite knowledge advance through the licensing process.
