Credential Renewals

Credentials should be renewed online at http://www.ctc.ca.gov. Once you have renewed your credential, please notify the Human Resources Department. When your credential renewal has been processed by the CTC, please go to the CTC website and print out the "detailed" version of your credential. Please send the credential print out to the Human Resources Department (email preferred).

*NOTE: CTC processing fee for credential renewals is $100 application fee, plus a $2.65 processing fee using a debit or credit card payment only.

FAQs

Will CTC send me a reminder when my credential is about to expire?
The credential holder is solely responsible for renewing on time and for completing requirements for renewal. As a courtesy, the Commission will send an email reminder 90 days prior to the expiration of a document that is renewable online. Educators who do not have a current email address on file or whose renewal must be submitted by mail will not receive this reminder. Individuals who do not receive this reminder email are not exempt from the personal responsibility of renewing their document on time.

How do I renew my credential?

Credentials can be renewed online on the CTC website. Instructions on how to use the website to renew your credential can be found here.

How early can I renew my credential?

Credentials can be renewed up to 6 months in advance of the expiration date. The issuance date for the renewed credential will be the same as the expiration date of the previous credential. You do not get a different expiration date by renewing early. Do not wait, you may experance a payhold up to 30 days prior to the expiration of your credential from the County of Office of Education and will need to work on the removal of that pay hold.
