Answer:  Because this is a new process, you need to create a new account with Submittable, the platform for license renewals.  The State Board of Law Examiners (BLE) is not part of the State Bar Association of North Dakota (SBAND).  The login credentials for its site will not work in Submittable.  The BLE is also not part of the Court System.  The login credentials for any of its systems will not work in Submittable.  A court employee, Odyssey, E-file or Serve, Supreme Court Portal, etc. login will not work in Submittable.  Please review the guide for details on how to create a new account.
