Instructions for applying to be a Professional Counseling Corporation

2. Please note that the professional(s) must be Licensed Professional Counselor(s) in the State of North Carolina for our Board to register the corporation.
3. Complete and submit a Professional Counseling Corporation Application to the Board's office along with a $50 application fee.
 
4. Once an application is received and approved a Certificate of Application will be returned to the applicant for filing with the Secretary of State.  (This is not a certificate of registration).
5. After the Secretary of State has issued an approved Articles of Incorporation, a copy of such reflecting the Secretary of State’s seal must be sent to the Board’s office.
6. Upon receipt of approved Articles of Incorporation, a Certificate of Registration will be issued to the applicant.

A corporation organized for the rendering of professional counseling services is not validly operating if it has not first received this certificate of registration from our Board.

Professional Corporations renew their Certificates of Registration prior to the 31st of December each year with a $25 renewal fee.  Notices are sent a minimum of sixty days prior to expiration.

Please do not hesitate to contact our office if you have questions regarding these procedures or if we may be of assistance.
