For applicants who may be concerned about the “effective” date of their license or permit, typically it is the date PTSB has received a complete application; however, this may be subject to change depending on whether all requirements were met at the time of application.

For example: If we received a Coaching Permit application on August 1, 2025, and marked it as incomplete due to missing the current First Aid and CPR certification, and the applicant submits their card within the 30-day window with a completion date of August 25, 2025, the certification will show as valid starting August 25, 2025. It is critical to ensure that all requirements are completed before submission to avoid this scenario.
