Application $83.75 (includes initial license; no separate license fee) and Pearson VUE exam $36.75 are from a secondary source (OL Training 2026); DBPR CIB confirms fees changed 1/3/2023 but lists no amounts. Livescan fingerprinting ~$50-80 by vendor (secondary), so fingerprint_fee null; totals include ~$50-80. Pass rates are monthly, not annual.
