How to Track Your California Home Care License Application Status

After submitting, track your application status and respond promptly to any CDSS requests.

CDSS doesn't have an online application status portal. You'll need to contact them directly.

Typical timeline:

- 10–15 business days: Application received and logged

- 2–4 weeks: Assigned to a licensing analyst

- 90–180 days: Full review and decision (varies significantly)

Update your status below as things progress. When approved, you'll enter your HCO license number to complete the process!

Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • 1Not following up if you haven't heard anything after 30 days
  • 2Missing a request for corrections — CDSS will send a letter

Tips

  • Check in with CDSS after 30 days if you haven't received confirmation
  • Respond promptly to any correction requests — delays extend processing time
