In compliance with North Carolina General Statutes 57C-2-01 and 55B, all proposed limited liability companies that will practice medicine in North Carolina are required to register and obtain certification from the NC Medical Board (NCMB) before filing with the Secretary of State.

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

After a professional limited liability company is created and the proper PLLC forms are filed with the Secretary of State, the professional medical limited liability company 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.
