Terms of service

Public tools and saved work

TeachPassport provides free official lookup links, reviewed public guidance and initial personalized checks. Existing free move plans and access already granted remain available under the terms shown when they were created. An account is personal and lets you save and reopen work covered by the tool.

The annual service

TeachPassport offers one $19.99 a year individual plan for appointed NYCPS classroom teacher salary work. TeachPassport states exactly what is available, the renewal date, what requires your personal action and which outside fees are separate. Anything not listed on the purchase page is not part of the purchase.

The annual service renews for another year at $19.99 plus any required tax until canceled. We send a notice 15 to 45 days before renewal that states the renewal date, price, next term and cancellation instructions. Cancellation through the private billing page stops the next renewal and leaves access active through the paid date. When paid access ends, only paid case follow-through and its messages end. A free saved-result alert or reminder you chose continues until you turn it off or delete it. Your existing record remains readable and exportable, and saved proof can be deleted.

Duplicate charges, non-delivery, a material service failure we cannot correct and refunds required by law are refundable. Outside agency, testing, transcript, fingerprint and course charges follow the other organization’s terms.

New York first-certificate annual service

For $19.99 a year, TeachPassport opens one private, file-free record for the supported New York approved-program first-certificate path. It organizes the program, EAS and required subject tests, fingerprints, college recommendation, your TEACH application, New York requests and corrections, and the issued outcome and history.

You personally use TEACH and testing systems, take tests, complete fingerprints and attestations, and submit the application. State, testing, fingerprint, transcript, course and other outside fees are separate. TeachPassport does not guarantee issuance or act in your name.

The service renews annually until canceled. We send a notice before renewal; cancellation stops the next charge and leaves the paid term active. The record remains readable and exportable afterward. Duplicate charges, non-delivery, a material service failure we cannot correct and refunds required by law are refundable.

TeachPassport for Schools

Schools that keep a certification register pay $49 a month or $490 a year per organization, with a 14-day free trial and no card required to start. The TeachPassport for Schools terms and Data Processing Addendum govern that service.

Your part

You must provide accurate information, protect your email and state accounts and personally complete steps that require identity verification, attestation, payment, testing, fingerprinting or portal access. Do not send Social Security numbers, passwords, fingerprint records, background reports or other information we do not expressly request.

No agency outcome guarantee

State agencies retain exclusive authority over credential comparisons and issuance. TeachPassport does not guarantee that an agency will issue a credential, meet a processing estimate, waive a test or accept a particular document.

What we cannot handle

TeachPassport does not provide individual legal review, criminal-history or disciplinary analysis, administrative appeals, foreign credential evaluation, legal advice or representation before an agency. We may pause or decline work when important facts fall outside the certification paths we currently cover.

Outside fees

The annual TeachPassport price does not include charges collected by government agencies, testing companies, schools, transcript providers, fingerprint vendors, outside course providers or other organizations. Those charges are between you and the organization that collects them.

Acceptable use

You may use TeachPassport for your own professional licensing decisions. You may not scrape, republish, resell or use the service to build a competing regulatory dataset, bypass access controls or interfere with the service.

Changes

We may update these terms prospectively. Material changes will be identified in the service or sent through required account communication. Promotional announcements remain a separate choice. Continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance.
