North Carolina dietitian/nutritionist license renewal and continuing education
The North Carolina Board of Dietetics/Nutrition FAQ, citing 21 NCAC 17 .0109(g), states that Registered Dietitians licensed under Category A must provide “Verification of current certification as a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist by the CDR, and verification of compliance with CDR’s continuing education requirements.”
Quoted from official pages checked November 12, 2026. Confirm current requirements, fees, and dates on those sites. This page is not legal advice and does not guarantee eligibility, certification, or licensure.

Cycle
“Licenses are renewed annually and are valid from April 1st through March 31st.”
Other license categories
The FAQ sets separate documentation for other categories, such as Certified Nutrition Specialists. The state rules server returned an error, so the rule text itself was not read (paraphrased).
Required topics
None named. The official source this page quotes sets the CE hours but does not name a required topic (read November 12, 2026). Other state laws can still apply, so confirm with the board before you renew.

What this page does not do
It covers the state dietetics license only, and only what the official page named above says. It does not list fees and does not replace the board’s own instructions. CDR registration is separate; see the RD and DTR overview. Rules change; check the board before you renew.
