North Carolina Social Work License Options
Licensed social workers from other jurisdictions are not automatically allowed to practice in North Carolina. However, the Board reviews each application. Depending on the applicant’s qualifications, they may be granted licensure or certification by substantial equivalency. Each applicant is required to complete an application packet for their level of licensure and provide verification of their existing license. ASWB scores must also be submitted to the Board for consideration.
