Staff at the DMV service center will review your driver record and application to determine if you are eligible for an occupational license. Staff at the DMV service center will immediately process most occupational applications.

There, a final determination is made on whether you are eligible for an occupational license. If you are not eligible, you will be notified the license will not be issued and why.

Depending upon the hours the DMV Service Center is open, you may receive your occupational license the same day. If it is near the service center’s closing time or if they need to fax your application to the Driver Information Section, you may be asked to return the next day or the next time that DMV service center is open to have your photo occupational license issued.
