Licensure

Licensing program overview

Criminal Convictions - Please Be Aware

1.  NCMB requires applicants for licensure to submit to a criminal background check as part of the licensure process.

2.  NCMB will review all relevant information when processing a license application and making a determination on licensure. As part of its review, NCMB considers criminal convictions. When considering criminal convictions, the NCMB shall consider all the factors listed in N.C. Gen. Stat. § 93B-8.1(b1). Review the factors listed in N.C. Gen. Stat. § 93B-8.1(b1) here.

3.  If NCMB denies an application in whole or in part because of a criminal conviction or otherwise, there is an appeals process that the applicant can pursue through N.C. Gen. Stat § 90-14.1. Review the appeals process in N.C. Gen. Stat § 90-14.1 here.
