How do I change my name on my document?
Submit the following to the Commission office at the address noted on the form:
- A completed Declaration of Name Change form [PDF] for EACH valid credential, certificate or permit you wish to have issued in your new name. This application must include your former name and former signature as well as your new name and new signature.
- A processing fee [PDF] of $27.50 for each credential, certificate, or permit for which you are applying to have reissued in your new name. Personal checks, cashier's checks, and money orders are all acceptable forms of payment and should be made payable to the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing or CCTC.
May I request a name change when renewing?
Yes. You may change your name online at the time that you renew your document instead of submitting the name change form. This process may also be completed when renewing by mail. To do this, submit a completed renewal application form [pDF] that shows both your former name and the name that you want to have on the renewed document. The current application fee [pDF] is required; however, there is no additional charge for the name change.
The Commission will not make name changes on expired documents.
