Under what condition may you work with a temporary Card?

• A. If you have not been convicted of a crime and have submitted your application
• B. If you have a criminal conviction
• C. Only after the full license is issued
• D. Never allowed to work with temporary Card

Answer: (A)

A temporary Card is designed to let you work while your license application is being processed, provided you’ve submitted the application and have not been convicted of a crime. The no-criminal-conviction requirement protects public safety by ensuring only applicants with a clean record are allowed to begin work during licensure processing. If there is a criminal conviction, you do not qualify for the temporary Card, so you wouldn’t be allowed to work under that status. The temporary Card isn’t meant to wait until the full license is issued; it serves as a bridge for eligible applicants.
