Application Process
Requirements
Individuals applying directly to the FSMTB must complete and submit the MBLEx Application Form and the fee. Payment can be made by certified check, money order, Visa, or Master Card. Personal checks are not accepted.
Approval to Test
Once the application and fee are received, the FSMTB will process the application in three business days. If an application is incomplete, FSMTB will, as a courtesy, notify candidates via telephone, email, or US mail, informing them of any documentation that is needed to complete the application.
Once the application is approved, the FSMTB will issue a Notice to Schedule (NTS) via US Mail and also by email if the candidate provides an email address on the application. The NTS will include information that candidates will need to register for the exam date and exam site of their choice. Candidates have three months from the date of the NTS to take the MBLEx.
If a candidate is unable to test within the three month approval window, the candidate will be required to reapply as a new applicant subject to all application and fee requirements in place at that time. Fees are not refundable.
Withdrawing an Application
A candidate may withdraw his application at any time during his three month eligibility window by submitting a written request to FSMTB. Fees are refundable, minus a $45 processing fee. Refunds will not be given to candidates who fail to take the exam within the three month window, or who fail to show up to a scheduled exam. Applicants who have withdrawn their applications and reapply in the future must reapply as new applicants subject to all application and fee requirements in place at that time.
