How about "The licence will take 14 working days to be issued"?

In Japan today even dogs are learning how to bow-wow in English.

Dear Qut,

Your sentence is correct. You may also say «It will take 14 working days to issue a licence».

Here are similar sentences:

«Decorating the house will take all weekend.»

«Cleaning the car will take an hour.»

«Answering the question will take five minutes.»

Kind regards, Smile [:)]
