I have applied for a license and from what I can see on my end the checklist still shows missing items, how does this get updated?
We have to manually review and approved items submitted through the application portal. These items include all items you upload through your applicant portal, items mailed/emailed to the office, and submissions through the online background check portal. We are making updates to checklists on a daily basis, so please continue to look for updates to your profile as they are processed.
The person I have listed as a reference did not get the email to submit the reference letter/information for me, what do I do?
Please send an email to the Board office ([email protected]) and request the reference links be resent. Note: if the reference link is resent the original link in the first email will no longer work.
I notice that on my applicant checklist, “background check complete” is not checked off, but I have a report back from Castle Branch on my end.
The checklist item “Background Check from Fingerprint Submission Complete” is for the reports from the SBI for the fingerprint cards. The Castle Branch report is noted on the checklist as “online background check submission”.
*Note: It takes on average 3-4 weeks from the date we send the fingerprint cards to the SBI to the date we get a clear background report back. If there are items on the background check that could delay license issuance.
I noticed that we can have our finger print cards submitted electronically now, but I already mailed in my physical fingerprint card, can I send them electronically too?
Please either submit a completed fingerprint card to the Board office or submit your fingerprints electronically. Please do not submit your fingerprints to be processed by mail and electronically.
** The NC SBI does not accept electronic fingerprint submission from other states. The NC SBI only accepts electronic fingerprint submissions from NC Law Enforcement Agencies. If you are in another state, you must mail in the fingerprint card to the SBI for processing. **
For the question on the application regarding being a military trained applicant does that apply to me?
This question on the application would apply to you if you were specifically trained to practice behavior analysis in the military or you are an active duty military spouse who needed to move to North Carolina due to your spouses active military duty.
