What is the Colorado teacher license application fee?

Base application fee

Requirement

$110 is the published base teacher-license application fee. Colorado law prohibits refunding the application-evaluation fee; fingerprint and third-party costs are separate.

Colorado evaluates out-of-state or out-of-country preparation, content knowledge, licenses and licensed experience for a first Colorado teacher license and requested endorsements.

CDE lists official transcripts from every institution, the program verification form, copies of all educator licenses, work history, identity evidence, any required disclosure documents and, for some alternative-program completers, a state letter confirming the program.

• •A valid Social Security number is required to apply; an applicant who has only an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number must contact CDE before applying
• •The program verification form comes from the registrar or certification officer of the preparing college or university; a program completed outside the United States is verified through the NACES course-by-course evaluation instead
• •An out-of-state alternative-program completer without three years of fully licensed experience after preparation also needs an official, signed letter from that state's department of education confirming the program was state-approved and describing its entry and exit requirements
• •Listed work experience counts as licensed experience only where the license copies cover its dates
• •The application must be submitted within 30 days after CDE receives the background check
• •After an incomplete-application notice, the applicant has 60 days to supply the missing material or request reconsideration; CDE does not extend that deadline to wait for a background check

Confirm the amount before paying the state agency.
