Have You Completed Your Annual Certificate Renewal?
North Carolina CPAs are again taking
advantage of the Board's on-line cer¬
tificate renewal process; in the first six
weeks of the renewal period, more than
4,300 licensees renewed on-line.
To renew on-line, a CPA must have
his or her NC CPA certificate number,
his or her Social Security number, the
number of CPE hours completed to
meet the 2006 CPE requirement, and a
valid MasterCard or VISA account
number (including security code) and
the card expiration date.
If your firm has multiple licensees
and prefers to submit a lump sum pay¬
ment by mail and needs renewal forms
faxed or e-mailed to the firm, please
submit a list of the licensees and their
certificate numbers by fax to
(919) 733-4209 or by e-mail to
vanessiaw@nccpaboard.gov.
To access the on-line renewal, log
onto the Board's web site,
www.nccpaboard.gov, and click on the
"on-line renewal" link at the bottom of
the menu on the left-hand side of the
page.
On the renewal page, click on the
"individual" link to launch the renewal
process.
If you want to keep a copy of the
information submitted during the re¬
newal process, you must print each
page of the on-line renewal after you
have completed the information re¬
quired, but before clicking the "sub¬
mit" button.
On the "Licensee Log-In" page,
enter your Social Security number in
the format XXX-XX-XXXX. If you do
not include the dashes, the system does
not recognize the number.
NOTE: An individual licensed
prior to the State requirement that the
Board collect Social Security numbers
of applicants and licensees for child
support enforcementpurposes may not
have provided his or her Social Secu¬
rity number to the Board. In that case, if
you provide the Board with your Social
Security number, the staff will update
your information and you may con¬
tinue with the on-line renewal.
After entering your Social Security
number, enter your certificate number
and click "submit."
If the Social Security number and
certificate number entered match the
information in the Board's records, the
first page of the on-line renewal, "Per¬
tinent Data on File," will display.
This page of the renewal pertains
to your contact information, concentra¬
tion area, occupation area, job title, and
A1CPA and NCACPA membership in¬
formation.
Y ou must provide the Board with a
complete address, including business
name, mailing address, e-mail address,
and telephone number, so that the Board
will have complete and accurate infor¬
mation and will be able to contact you.
To update your address, click on
the blue highlighted link (such as Mail¬
ing Address or Home Address) to
change each type of address (mailing
address, home address, or business/
practice address).
If you do not provide at least one
complete mailing address you will not
be allowed to continue with the re¬
newal process.
If you are using your home address
or business/practice address as your
mailing address, you do not need to list
the same address in twocategories (such
as mailing address and home address
or mailing address and business/ prac¬
tice address).
Please note that the address you
select as your mailing address is the
address that will be displayed in the
searchable database on the Board's web
site. If you do not want your home
address to display on the Board's web
site, you must select your business/
practice address as your mailing ad¬
dress.
