The Georgia State Board of Funeral Service is pleased to announce that the Professional Licensing Boards Division has created an online application for Embalmer and Funeral Director licensure.  The application is the second online application created by the Division, and it is the first application filed online that will require attached documents.  The first online application was a simple application that required no attachments.

Applicants for licensure as embalmer and funeral director will complete the basic information and answer the Yes/No questions online.  They will be instructed to print a cover sheet for submitting attachments, such as the Certificate of Embalming Education.  They will be able to submit payment online during the application process by credit card.  The basic information will be uploaded to our licensing system, and the attachments will be scanned and linked to the information in the licensing system when the applicant submits them with the cover sheet.

When an applicant applies, they will first apply for the embalmer license, answer the questions, pay fees, and submit.  Once they print the receipt, they will need to go back and apply for the director license in the same manner.

The State Board anticipates more online applications in the very near future.
