HOW TO APPLY
You may apply directly to the Commission for your initial credentialing by submitting an application packet consisting of all of the following:- Completed application [PDF]
- Completed Livescan receipt [PDF], if not previously submitted to the Commission. Out-of-state residents (with out-of-state addresses) have the option of submitting two fingerprint cards (FD-258), in lieu of a LiveScan receipt. If submitting fingerprint cards, current fingerprint processing fees must accompany the application packet. Fingerprint cards may be ordered by sending an e-mail to the Commission at CAWOrders@ctc.ca.gov. This e-mail address is for ordering materials only. Credential questions sent to this e-mail address will not be answered.
- Application processing fee [PDF]
- Official transcripts, letters of experience, or copies of out-of-state credentials or examination scores, as required by the option you apply under. California has three options for qualifying for out-of-state prepared teachers. Review each option to determine which is best for you.
