# North Carolina dental license reciprocity

Answer: For dental license reciprocity or licensure by endorsement in North Carolina, Dentovio's sourced state record highlights this out-of-state license signal: 0501 (licensure by credentials), an applicant who graduated with a certificate or degree from a CODA-accredited ADVANCED DENTAL EDUCATION PROGRAM (e. , GPR, AEGD, or a CODA specialty program) satisfies the educational credentials requirement — a foreign (non-CODA) graduate does NOT have to repeat a full CODA DDS/DMD. Related pathway and exam context: Board-approved written exam (NBDE/iNBDE) and Board-approved clinical examination. NC accepts ADEX-based clinical exams (CDCA-WREB / CITA). WREB retired Dec 31, 2022. Confirm the current endorsement, credentials, portability, application, exam, score-age, and foreign-trained exceptions directly with North Carolina State Board of Dental Examiners.
