*The North Carolina Interpreter and Transliterators Licensing Board’s licensure year runs from October 1-September 30. Your license must be renewed annually on or before September 30.*
License Requirements & Application
Annual Renewal Information
This is the first year the Board will utilize an online platform called Certemy for renewal submissions. This platform allows for electronic submission and communication for all renewal items. Submitting your items through the account you create in Certemy will be the only option for submitting a renewal beginning this renewal year.
For any provisional licensees who will be submitting a provisional extension request, this request will be submitted through the Certemy platform along with your renewal.
Board policy for renewal year 2023:
Any provisional licensee who has taken the CASLI exam, NIC performance or CDI Performance exam on or before June 30, 2023, and is currently awaiting results, may submit a complete renewal through the online platform on or before September 30, 2023, and upload proof of having sat for the NIC performance or CDI Performance exam to the certifications and classifications section of the renewal portal. Uploading this proof will extend the provisional license for a period of 90 days. The provisional license will expire January 1, 2024. This will NOT renew the provisional license for an entire licensure year (October 1-September 30), but instead is a time limited grace period for the current provisional license.
Any provisional licensee that receives passing results, shall send confirmation of these results to the Board office via email on or before January 1, 2024. The provisional license will be changed to a full license and will remain valid through September 30, 2024.
If passing results are not submitted to the Board office (ncitlb@caphill.com) on or before January 1, 2024, the provisional license will lapse, and any licensee holding such provisional license will no longer be licensed and will have to reapply for a full license once an RID certification is held.
