Remember you need to have your licensed number on all materials in NYS ie card, brochures, web sites everything. It takes a long time for the actual license to come I am sure that other inspectors from NYS will testify to. Wait don't get nurveous and calls to the Dept of State will not make it come any faster. Were a big state and there are lots of licenses to provide to people in all sorts of business. My advice is not to market until you have it. You just might get a call for an inspection and then what.
