For licensees impacted by Hurricane Helene or would like to help, please view our Hurricane Helene FAQ.
The North Carolina Social Work Certification and Licensure Board places high importance on serving the public in North Carolina and are dedicated to expediting the processing of temporary licenses to support individuals impacted by recent natural disasters.
The Governor’s Executive Order waiving licensure requirements for behavioral health licensees from out of state has concluded effective August 15, 2022. Pursuant to Statute, it is unlawful to engage in the practice of social work without first being licensed in North Carolina. This includes the provision of electronic practice and telehealth services. If you are currently licensed in good standing at the comparable level in another jurisdiction, you may apply with this Board by substantial equivalency, as there is no residency requirement for licensure in North Carolina. The application details the levels and certification/licensure offered, in addition to the requirements and information that must be submitted to the Board for consideration. The application packet can be located on the Board’s website, and requires a non-refundable fee of $145 payable by money order or certified bank check to NCSWCLB. Military-trained applicants and Military Spouse applicants shall not be charged an initial application fee. For more information about the Board’s application process, click here.
