Core application evidence
Requirement
Idaho requires the application, current certificate or qualifying recommendation, official transcripts verifying at least a bachelor's degree and endorsement areas, and a Background Investigation Check packet.
Which application this evidence supports
Idaho accepts a current valid out-of-state certificate based on a fully completed approved program, or a recent institutional recommendation from a CAEP- or AAQEP-accredited program.
What can change this answer
A current valid certificate must trace to a full state-approved program in a NASDTEC jurisdiction; without that credential, only a CAEP or AAQEP institutional recommendation from a program completed within the last two calendar years uses this packet, with content-assessment evidence added.
Conditions to resolve before sending records
- •Idaho will not accept an expired out-of-state certificate for this route
- •The source certificate must show a visible valid period
- •An institutional recommendation is limited to CAEP- or AAQEP-accredited programs completed within the last two calendar years
- •The application is not complete until the required documents and fees are assembled
Send identity documents and background records only where the state agency instructs. TeachPassport does not receive them.
