FOR RENEWAL OF LICENSE
The procedure and requirements for renewal of a license is as follows:

(1)    The license shall be renewed every two years on July 1.  Two months prior to the license renewal period, an application for renewal will be mailed to each licensee at the last address provided to the Board.  Failure to receive notification during this period does not relieve the licensee of the responsibility of meeting the continuing education requirements and renewal of his or her license

(2)    An applicant for license renewal shall acknowledge on the form prepared by the Board that the licensee has completed the required continuing education units, the number of units completed of the programs completed. The licensee shall retain such receipts, vouchers, or certificates as may be necessary to document completion of the continuing education units required.

      Here you will find the forms to renew your license.  As a courtesy, the Board will mail these to you approximately 60 days before your renewal date to the address on file.  Please be sure to update the NCALB on any address changes.   
      Within these forms are the rules and regulations which govern renewal of licenses in NC.  There you will find the breakdown of the 40 hours needed to renew.  Please keep in mind that all courses should be approved by one of the listed organizations in the rules and regulations.
