2012-2013 Online CPA License Renewal Now Available
Online individual license renewal for
the 2012-2013 license year is now avail¬
able on the Board's website, www.
nccpaboard.gov.
A licensee may use Internet Ex¬
plorer, Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome,
or Apple Safari to complete the online
renewal.
To renew online, 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 2011 CPE requirement, and a valid
MasterCard or VISA account number
(including the security code) with the
card expiration date and complete bill¬
ing address.
Please note that each licensee's
renewal must be a separate and dis¬
tinct online transaction. If a CPA firm
has multiple licensees and prefers to
submit a lump sum payment by mail
and needs renewal forms emailed to the
firm, please submit a list of the licensees
and theircertificate numbers to alices@
nccpaboard.gov.
To access the online renewal, the
licensee must navigate to the Board's
website, www.nccpaboard.gov, and
click on the "online renewal" link lo¬
cated at the bottom of the menu on the
left-hand side of the page.
When the renewal page displays,
the licensee will click on the "individu¬
al" link to launch the renewal process.
On the "Licensee Log-In" page, the
licensee will enter his or her Social Se¬
curity number and North Carolina CPA
certificate number and click "submit."

ing the renewal process, he or she must
print each page of the online renewal
after he or she provides the required
information, but before clicking the
"submit" button.
If the Social Security number and
certificate number entered match the
information in the Board's records,
the first page of the online renewal,
"Pertinent Data on File," will display.
This page of the renewal pertains
to the licensee's contact information,
concentration area, occupation area,
job title, and AICPA and NCACPA
membership information.
Each licensee must provide the
Board with a complete address, includ¬
ing business name, mailing address,
email address, and telephone number so
that the Board will have accurate contact
information for each of its licensees.
To update an address, the licensee
must click on the blue highlighted link
(such as Mailing Address or Home Ad¬
dress) to change each type of address
(mailing address, home address, or
business/ practice address).
If a complete mailing address (in¬
cluding email address) is not provided,
the licensee will not be allowed to con¬
tinue with the renewal process.
If a licenseeis usinghis or her home
address or business/ practice address as
the mailing address, the licensee does
not need to list the same address in two
categories (such as mailing address and
home address or mailing address and
business/ practice address).
Please note that the address selected
as the licensee's mailing address is the
address that will be displayed in the
searchable database on the Board's
website. If a licensee does not want his
or her home address to display on the
Board's website, he or she must select
the business/practice address as the
mailing address.
In the "Certificate and Licensee
Information" section, the licensee must
select the proper occupation and con¬
centration category from the pop-up
lists, type in his or her job title, indicate

and/or NCACPA, and click the "con¬
tinue" button.

licensee must read each item carefully,
select the appropriate answer, and click
"submit."

swer "B" because heor she was licensed
after January 1, 2012, the licensee will
not be able to view Page 3 where licens¬
ees who report CPE will enter the CPE
hours completed. Instead, the licensee
will be automatically directed to Page 4.
