Out of State and Program Verification

To request a verification letter of completing a CSULB Credential Program or request verification for moving out of California, please complete the following.

If you have moved or plan on moving to a different state to teach, you will need to contact that state's credential or education agency to ask whether they will accept California's credentials. Each state's credential requirements may differ. Please visit the Commision on Teacher Credentialing's website for a list of Educational Organizations in Other States.  

Step 1: Pay $25 Credential Evaluation and Services fee (fee is non-refundable). Save emailed payment receipt for uploading in step 3.

Step 2: Gather appropriate information/items:

• If the state/country in which you are seeking a teaching position has a Program Verification Form that needs a college dean or university representative signature, please fill out any applicable sections and save form for uploading in step 3.
• If the state/country in which you are seeking a teaching position is requesting a letter from the university, please gather the details as to what the letter needs to include and to whom it should be returned to and save for including in step 3.
• If you do not have a form and are seeking a verification letter not associated with moving out of California, please gather the details as to what the letter needs to include and to whom it should be returned to and save for including in step 3.

Step 3: Upload $25 payment receipt and State's Program Verification form (if applicable) to the Verification Request form. If you do not have a form, please provide what information is needed in your verification letter.
