This has a tendency to slow down the overall process. We mail all verifications within three days. We can easily tell you that we mailed it, but what you really want to know is if the receiving end has received it. So, you may wish to start there. You must allow for processing on both ends, especially on the receiving end. If they have not received (or internally processed) it in two weeks please and we will verify the mail date for you via return email.
If the exam you took in North Carolina was the FLEX, SPEX or USMLE Steps 1, 2, and 3, you will need to request these scores directly from the Federation of State Medical Boards, which is the repository for these exam scores. However, if you took the North Carolina Licensing Exam prior to 1976, then you can request these scores by sending a written request along with a check or money order in the amount of $35.00 payable to the North Carolina Medical Board. The North Carolina Licensing Exam is an older exam predating FLEX, SPEX and USMLE.
Although verifications are requested from the NCMB online, the actual verification letter and supporting documents are processed on paper. Once the verification is requested, a report is generated, letters are printed and signed by the Executive Director, and the Medical Board seal is affixed to them. Finally, the documents are mailed to the destination you typed in during the verification process.
Different boards and credentialing agencies have different names or terminology for licensure verification, including “letter of good standing”. The terms verification and letter of good standing are equivalent for any medical or training license you hold in North Carolina, whether active or inactive. The NCMB has had no problems with other states or authorities refusing to accept its verifications.
Once you order a verification online, the NCMB generates a letter form typed on Board letterhead that contains all of the information that the receiving authority needs to verify a license (or past license) in North Carolina. Our letter form has been accepted by all other state medical boards and credentialing agencies for more than ten years.
