Application fee varies by pathway
Requirement
New York lists a $100 fee per certificate title or extension for many applications based on alternate requirements or individual evaluation. TEACH shows the amount for the pathway selected.
What the published fee applies to
New York separates experienced out-of-state applicants from applicants relying on completion of an out-of-state preparation program.
What can change this answer
NYSED does not pre-approve eligibility; the Office of Teaching Initiatives makes the final decision after a paid application and credential review.
Documents you may need
The TEACH application, fingerprints, official transcripts and copies of out-of-state certificates are core parts of the agency review.
Costs and route conditions to keep separate
- •The endorsement route requires a regular, active and comparable certificate
- •Add-on endorsements do not always satisfy New York reciprocity requirements
Confirm the amount before paying the state agency.
