The Commission on Teacher Credentialing issues various types of credentials, certificates, and permits. Many of these documents require renewal on a regular basis. It is the credential holder's responsibility to complete the requirements for the renewal of their document. The renewal code(s) and renewal requirement(s) for each credential, certificate, and permit were printed on the face of the document until September 1, 2008. Since that date, all documents issued by the Commission are available only in a view and print format, available on the Commission's website.
Here are some examples of where the renewal code can be found on your credential if it was issued prior to September 1, 2008:

To renew this permit for an additional five-year period, the holder must complete a minimum of 105 clock hours of planned and approved professional growth activities as described in The California Professional Growth Manual for Child Development Permits. The holder has already used his or her one-time two-year extension available for Child Development Permits; the professional growth requirements must be completed before another permit can be issued.
