Thank you for registering for the New York State Guide License exams. You will be sent an email(s) with your test link(s). The link(s) will remain inactive until exam day from 7:00AM to 11:00PM (0700 -2300 hours). If you are taking the basic requirements exam, you will have one and a half (1.5) hours to complete the exam. If you are taking any of the other exams, you will have 30 minutes to complete each exam.

Your registration will be from Alchemer, not DEC, so check your spam folder in case the email does not show up. You should expect your registration within the next few hours.

If you do not receive your registration within 24 hours, you can register for the test again, however, the exam link itself will only work once.

Please download the following instruction sheet to help you when you take your exam(s): //surveygizmolibrary.s3.amazonaws.com/library/713018/examassistance.pdf.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us at: 518-402-8985 or speciallicenses@dec.ny.gov.
