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:

  • All
  • A (4)
  • B (1)
  • C (11)
  • D (22)
  • E (1)
  • H (1)

  • R (170)
  • S (24)

  • This certificate may not be renewed. However, the holder will be eligible for the emergency permit which authorizes this service if he or she satisfies the Basic Skills Requirement and applies through the employing district, county, or agency prior to the expiration date of this document. The Commission is in the process of transitioning from the current structure for special education credentials to a new structure. The differences between the two structures are explained on the enclosed leaflet. The holder will need to select the structure best suited to his or her needs and background.
