    Check your Email to Reset your Password

    If the email you entered exists in our system, you’ll receive a message from DoNotReply-DEQPermits@deq.nc.gov with an activation code and a password reset link. The subject line will read "North Carolina AccessDEQ Password Changed".

    In the body of the email, you'll find a link embedded in the text “go to this page.” Click that link to proceed. Please note that the link will expire after one hour, so be sure to access it within that timeframe.

    If you don’t see an email in your inbox after a few minutes, check your spam folder before trying again.
