Important Updates
DUE JAN 31 -- 2012 Corporate RenewalsThe registration renewal deadline for all professional podiatry corporations and PLLCs was December 31. If you have not renewed, please do so as soon as possible to avoid adverse action against your corporation. Any professional podiatry corporation or PLLC that fails to renew by the end of February will be suspended by the Board of Podiatry Examiners and the N.C. Secretary of State. Final notices will be mailed to registrants in mid-January. Registrants who missed the December 31 deadline must pay a late fee of $10.
When a professional corporation or PLLC is suspended, it is not lawful for it to provide professional services in North Carolina.
Please email questions to info@ncbpe.org. Please include the full name of the corporation you are inquiring about and, if known, the constituent registration ID number. |

About NCBPE
The Board of Podiatry Examiners for the State of North Carolina (NCBPE) was established by North Carolina General Statute (90-202.2 to 90-202.14) as North Carolina's licensing and registry board for the profession of podiatry. The NCBPE consists of four members, three North Carolina licensed podiatrists and one member from the community. All members are appointed by the Governor for three-year terms. (Board members and meeting schedule.)
The purpose of NCBPE is to serve the best interests of the public and medical profession by evaluating the initial and continuing qualifications of podiatrists in the state of North Carolina. All candidates are expected to have completed a baccalaureate degree. This is normally required for admission to colleges of podiatric medicine. All podiatrists licensed by NCBPE have attained the Doctor of Podiatric Medicine (DPM) degree from an accredited college of podiatric medicine. All candidates are expected to have completed or be working towards completion of a postdoctoral residency program. The Board reviews the qualifications of candidates; conducts oral and written examinations; and issues licenses. In addition to issuing licenses, the Board has the authority to suspend, revoke or cancel licenses of podiatrists in the state of North Carolina.
All podiatrists in the state are required to renew their licenses annually. NCBPE renewal of licensure indicates that the podiatrist has completed a process that requires participation in 25 hours of continuing education related to podiatry from an accredited provider/s.
