  • Verification letter of two or more years of teaching experience (for out-of-state prepared teachers)

  • An out-of-state prepared teacher may apply to transfer their credential to California via Route 2. This route requires a professional-level teaching license in another state and verification of two or more years of full-time, out-of-state teaching experience.

    The verification of experience must be an original letter (photocopies not accepted) written by your out-of-state employer that verifies your years of service. To qualify, we only need to verify a minimum of two years of full-time teaching experience.

    The letter must be on official letterhead from the school or school district, and it must state that the experience was full-time or show that full time hours were completed. Additionally, it must show the beginning and ending dates of hire and be signed by the Superintendent, Assistant Superintendent, or HR personnel. The signature must be either be ‘wet ink’ or an acceptable electronic signature. HR forms with original signatures may also be accepted in lieu of a letter as long as they meet all the requirements mentioned above.

    In addition to the letter verifying experience, two summative annual performance evaluations are also required.
