The fretboard should be removed, the gluing surfaces re-planed, then it should be clamped and glued, and finally the fingerboard resurfaced to bring it true. Bring it to a pro if you don't know what you are doing.

*If it is just one small corner that is lifting it could probably just be reglued without removing the board...however I would have concerns about the rest of the joint giving up the ghost soon.

Hi.

Welcome to TalkBass Mr.Hat.

What Jazzman said.

A pic may help us determine whether it's a DIY job or a relatively costly professional repair You're facing.

Regards
Sam

Unless the fingerboard is held on with hide glue, then there is no need to take it off.
