Application Process
You will need to schedule an appointment to come in for the test. Both first time applicants and renewing applicants will need to test. If you are renewing a current card, you can schedule an appointment as much as 60 days prior to the expiration date on your card.
All applicants must pass the food safety test at one of our locations with a score of 70% or better. First time applicants get 20 multiple-choice questions, renewing clients get 10 questions.
You can prepare for the test by downloading or reviewing our free training materials available here.
When you arrive for your appointment, please bring valid photo identification.
After passing the test, you will pay the $20 card fee. An additional $15 is charged to renew an expired card. Your Food Handler Card will be issued and valid for three years.
