Any application received after the receipt deadline will be returned to you unprocessed. Sending in your application early allows time for the application to be returned to you in case of errors. Applications received before the opening date of processing for that exam will be held until the appropriate date. Fees will not be refunded for a processed application unless you withdraw the application by the withdrawal deadline.

PTCB cannot be responsible for the delivery times of the post office or for items lost in the mail. The use of an overnight, traceable mail service is encouraged. PES will not accept hand-delivered applications.
