Instructions for Professional Corporations Online Renewals:

 

Beginning May 15 you will be able to access the Professional Corporations online renewal page at the Professional Corporations tab of the Board’s website at www.ncbot.org.  Follow the online instructions to the Corporate Licensee Log-in page.  As the June 30 renewal deadline draws nearer, you may experience server slowdowns, which may delay or prevent renewals from being processed.

 

To complete your online renewal you will need:

  1. your North Carolina OT or OTA license number or or your previous renewal password;
  2. a valid MasterCard, Discover or Visa credit card with expiration date, security code and complete billing address.

The first time you log-in you will use your North Carolina OT or OTA license number for your password.  The next screen will prompt you to change your password.  Make a note of your new password as it will be required to log-in to renew next year.

 

Renewal Page One (1) contains your personal and Professional Corporation information from the Board’s files.  Please review and correct the information as necessary so that our records are current and complete.  If there are any changes to your Professional Corporation information, you must contact the Secretary of State and the Board.  Your mailing address is the location you would like written correspondence from the Board to be sent.  Please complete all sections.

 

NOTE: If you wish to keep a copy of the information submitted during the renewal process, you must print each page of the online renewal after completing the required information but before clicking the “save and continue” button.

 

Renewal Page Two (2) contains information on the organizers and persons who are employed to practice occupational therapy for your Professional Corporation. 

 

Renewal Page Three (3) contains the declaration of moral character questions.  These questions must be answered in order to continue. There is also an affirmation that you have read the North Carolina Occupational Therapy Practice Act and Rules of the Board and conduct your practice accordingly.  The most current copy of the Practice Act and Rules can be accessed on the Board web site. (Practice Act and Rules)

 

When you click “save and continue” you will be advised that you have successfully completed the online renewal application and will be directed to the secure payment site.  The Board accepts MasterCard, Visa and Discover credit and debit cards.  No card information is stored by the Board.  After the transaction is complete, you may print the acknowledgement page to confirm that the corporation renewal was processed. The acknowledgement page includes your Corporation Registration Certificate in a PDF format and a statement that you have paid $25 to renew your license.  It is the licensee’s responsibility to print your Professional Corporation certificate.  Your debit or credit card statement will serve as your payment receipt.

 

IF YOU ARE RENEWING YOUR LICENSE FOR MORE THAN ONE RENEWAL PERIOD OR IF YOU HAVE PENDING DISCIPLINARY ACTION, YOU WILL NEED TO PRINT OUT THE NECESSARY FORMS AND SUBMIT THEM TO THE BOARD OFFICE BY MAIL.

Online renewals are not available after June 30th.  If you need to renew after that point, it must be done by mail.  Contact the Board if you have questions.
