HelpMBE Certification Application Instructions
Thank you for your interest in MBE certification with NCSDC. While our application is online, you will still need to print out a hard copy of the application, get it notarized and submit it to our offices along with all the appropriate documentation, which will be included when you print out your application.
Please read the detailed instructions CAREFULLY before you proceed:
Step 1: Fill out the online Minority Business Certification Application. Do not use all caps or all lower case when filling out the application. Do not use symbols or punctuation when entering in numbers or percentages. Simply enter in the digits only, otherwise the system will not save your application.
Step 2: Hit "Submit" when you are finished filling out the application. Hit "Save for Later" if you would like to save and complete the application at a later time. Please note: You MUST hit "Submit" after you have completed the application or your application cannot be processed.
Step 3: You will be sent a Login ID and password via the e-mail address you provided in your profile. You will need to use this ID and password to log into the website to make any updates to your profile and to print out a copy of your online application, which you will send to our offices as explained above.
Step 4: Click on the "MBE Login" tab on the website. Login using the ID and password you were sent via e-mail.
Step 5: Click on "Generate PDF Form" to generate a copy of your online application. Please note: You must have Adobe Acrobat Reader installed on your computer in order to generate a PDF form. If you do not, please click on the link provided to install Adobe Acrobat Reader.
