Important disclaimer
Last updated August 1, 2026
Independent resource
TeachPassport is an independent teacher-certification service. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by or acting on behalf of any state education department, credentialing commission, school district, testing company or interstate compact.
Not legal advice or representation
TeachPassport organizes published administrative requirements and official links. It is not a law firm, does not provide legal advice and does not represent teachers before licensing agencies.
Agency control
Only the responsible agency can determine whether a credential is comparable, whether submitted evidence is acceptable and whether a license will be issued. Official agency instructions control if they differ from TeachPassport.
Changes at the state
We show when official instructions were checked and keep them under review, but forms, fees, websites and agency practices can change. We may pause a move while we investigate an important change.
