In compliance with North Carolina General Statute 55B, all proposed corporations that will practice medicine in North Carolina are required to register and obtain certification from the NC Medical Board (NCMB).  The Certification of Registration and the applicable professional corporation forms are then filed with the Secretary of State.

A NCMB licensee may apply for a Certificate of Registration for a professional corporation. The required NCMB forms and instructions are available by clicking on the green button for the PC-1 form at right (refer to the ‘process’ tab for further information about completing the application). Additional information and state forms for professional corporations are available on the Secretary of State’s website, or you may call their (919) 807-2225 | toll-free at (888) 246-7636.

After a professional corporation is created and the proper professional corporation forms are filed with the Secretary of State, the professional medical corporation is required to maintain its registration with the NCMB and remain in good standing in order to legally continue practicing medicine. It is recommended that you download and read the NCMB’s Guide for Professional Corporations and Limited Liability Companies.
