APPLICATION FOR CREDENTIAL AUTHORIZING PUBLIC SCHOOL SERVICE (Form 41-4)
Instruction and Information Sheet
__________________________________________________________________________________________
This application form may be used to apply for or renew any credential, certificate, or permit type with the
exception of variable term waivers. A separate application form and fee is required for each credential for
which you apply. You must use the current version of application Form 41-4. It is available for download
from the Commission’s website at http://www.ctc.ca.gov/credentials/leaflets/414.pdf. APPLICATION FORM Type or print all information requested on the application form. Applications not completely and accurately filled
in and accompanied by all required supporting materials will be returned to the applicant. It is advisable after
filling out the application online to print an extra copy to keep with your records until your credential is issued.
You must provide the Commission with a valid email address on your application form to receive the automated
emails that will notify you of your application and credential status.
If you are employed on an emergency permit (other than a 30-Day or Prospective Substitute Permit), Limited
Assignment Permit, Short-Term Staff Permit, Provisional Internship Permit, or one-year nonrenewable credential,
you must apply through your employing agency.
If you are completing a professional preparation program through a Commission-approved program sponsor, the
program sponsor will initiate the application process by submitting the application to the Commission
electronically on your behalf. If you are not currently completing your professional preparation program or
employed in the public schools of California, you may send your application directly to the Commission.
Supporting Documentation
Each time you submit a new application, you are responsible for providing appropriate official transcripts, letters
verifying experience, examination score reports, and other information needed to determine your eligibility for
the current issuance of the credential. Transcripts or other supporting materials sent separately from the
submission of an application and payment or from a Commission letter requesting the documentation are
destroyed without being reviewed. The Commission does not maintain pending files and cannot match pieces
of an application that arrive separately.
Supporting documentation, including transcripts, will not be returned. The Commission does not maintain a file
of all supporting materials sent with every application. Educators should retain a copy of each application and the
related supporting materials submitted to the Commission for reference. Requirements may be subject to change
and are fully referenced in California Code of Regulations, Title 5, and the California Education Code.
Unless otherwise specified, the term "credential" as used herein means any type of credential, certificate, or permit
issued by the Commission.
FEES Please refer to the Commission’s fee schedule (Credential Leaflet CL-659) to determine the amount due. You
may pay by check or money order, made payable to the Commission on Teacher Credentialing or CTC. Do not
send cash. A service charge of $20 will be assessed for a check that does not clear the bank and your
credential may be voided until all fees due are paid in full. If you are applying through a county office of
education or school district office, you may be asked to make the check payable to that agency so that they can
submit a single check to the Commission for all of their applicants. Applications submitted without the
appropriate payment will not be processed and will be returned.

The processing time for credentials renewed online is approximately 10 working days.
CHILD DEVELOPMENT PERMIT RENEWAL: SELF-VERIFICATION If you are renewing a Child Development Permit (except the Associate Teacher Permit), you may either complete
the self-verification section on the application form or submit the Professional Growth Plan and Record Form
CL-826 along with your application. If you choose to self-verify the completion of your professional growth

requirements, your credential will not be renewed and you may be subject to adverse action on other credentials
you currently hold. You must retain your Professional Growth Plan and Record Form for one year following the
submission of your application.
PROFESSIONAL FITNESS QUESTIONS You are required to answer all Professional Fitness Questions. Before granting your application, the Commission
will review your criminal history, if any, from the Federal Bureau of Investigation and California Department of
Justice, a national database of teacher misconduct, previous reviews by the Commission, complaints from those
with first-hand knowledge of misconduct, notifications from school districts, and teacher preparation test score
violations.
You must disclose misconduct, even if:
It happened a long time ago
It happened in another state, federal court, military or jurisdiction outside the United States
You did not go to court and your attorney went for you
You did not go to jail or the sentence was only a fine or probation
You received a certificate of rehabilitation
Your conviction was later dismissed (even if under Penal Code section 1203.4), expunged, set aside or
the sentence was suspended
In accordance with Health & Safety Code sections 11361.5 and 11361.7, you may omit misdemeanor marijuana-
related convictions that occurred more than two years prior to this application, except convictions involving
concentrated cannabis, which must be disclosed regardless of the date of such a conviction.
Warning: Failure to disclose any information requested is falsification of your application and the
Commission may reject or deny your application or take disciplinary action against your credential. If you answer
“yes” to a question, you must complete a Professional Fitness Explanation Form and provide all requested
documentation. If any of the records have been purged or are otherwise not available, provide an original
statement from the agency on its official letterhead verifying that fact.

41-4 INSTRUCTIONS 4/2016
EMPLOYING AGENCY INFORMATION This section must be completed by the employing school agency for applications requesting any credential,
certificate, and permit type where service will be restricted to that employing agency. Individuals applying
directly to the Commission for a document do not need to complete this section.
OATH AND AFFIDAVIT Complete this section and certify (or declare) under penalty of perjury under the laws of California that all the
foregoing statements in this application are true and correct by signing the oath.
FINGERPRINT INFORMATION
California Residents
If this is your first application for a credential, certificate, or permit, you will need to submit verification that you
have had your fingerprints taken electronically by submitting a Live Scan receipt with your application packet.
California residents do not have the option of submitting fingerprint cards. A copy of the Live Scan form may be
found on the Commission’s website at http://www.ctc.ca.gov/credentials/leaflets/41-LS.pdf.
Three copies of the form will be needed for the Live Scan operator. A current listing of Live Scan sites offering
electronic fingerprint services is available to the public on the California Attorney General’s website using this
link: http://ag.ca.gov/fingerprints/publications/contact.php.
If you are renewing a document that has lapsed and have not held any valid document for more than 18 months,
under current regulations you must repeat the fingerprinting process for the Commission before your document
can be reissued. Please see Credential Leaflet CL-271 for more information on fingerprinting.
Out-of-State/Out-of-Country Residents
If this is your first application for a credential and you reside outside of California, you must submit with your
application packet two fingerprint cards (FD-258) and the additional fingerprint processing fees. The California
Department of Justice (DOJ) will accept fingerprint cards only for educators who reside outside of California.
Individuals residing outside of California and applying for employment or licensure in California who cannot be
fingerprinted in California must have their fingerprints rolled at a law enforcement agency in their state or country
of residence. Processing of fingerprint cards takes approximately one month after receipt by the Commission.
Fingerprint cards can be ordered from the Commission by sending an email to [email protected].
ISSUANCE DATES The issuance date of a credential, certificate, or permit is based upon either the initial date of service as determined
by the employer, the completion date of a program as determined by the recommending institution or agency, or
the date the Commission received the application.
Applications Submitted by Agencies
Pursuant to California Code of Regulations Title 5 section 80440 (b) and (c), applications submitted through an
employing agency or recommending institution must be received by the Commission within three months from
the requested issuance date of the credential.
The Commission will honor the issuance date established by the employing or recommending agency or
institution of higher education as long as the applicant is eligible for the document on the date indicated and the
application was received within the submission deadline. If the application is received after the three-month
deadline, the date of issuance of the credential, certificate or permit will be the date the application was received
by the Commission.
PAGE 5 of 5
41-4 INSTRUCTIONS 4/2016
Applications Submitted by Individuals If an application for a first time or new type of document is submitted directly to the Commission by an individual,
the issuance date of the credential, certificate or permit will be the date the application was received by the
Commission.
If an application for renewal of a document is received on or before the expiration date of the document being
renewed, the Commission will use the expiration date of the old document as the issuance date for the new
document. Applications for renewal may be submitted within one year of a document’s current expiration date.
If an application for renewal is received after the expiration date of the document being renewed, the issuance
date on the new document will be the date the application was received by the Commission.
PROCESSING TIME Applications are processed in the order in which they are received. Commission staff cannot search for pending
applications or process applications out of order. You may check your application status online using the
Educator Login to find the date it was received by the Commission. Click here for the current processing date.
Current law sets a maximum processing time for the evaluation of applications of 50 business days after the
Commission receives a completed application. Applications delayed by a Professional Practices review or
fingerprint processing are not subject to the 50-day restriction. Please wait until the maximum processing time
has passed before contacting the Commission regarding your application status.
ONLINE CREDENTIAL VIEW AND PRINT PROCESS The Commission does not print or mail documents. The official record of credentials, certificates, and permits is
available through an online view to colleges, universities, and employers through the Search for an Educator
option on the Commission’s Home page. Document holders may locate their file using the Educator Login
function on the Commission’s website. Documents are available for view within 3-5 business days of issuance.

Transition to New Industry Sectors
Effective September 1, 2014, five of the 15 Industry Sectors listed on the Designated Subjects CTE Teaching

renewed Designated Subjects CTE Teaching Credentials on or after September 1, 2014.
A Preliminary or Clear Designated Subjects CTE Teaching Credential originally issued prior to September 1,
2014 based on an occupation that moved to a new Industry Sector remains valid and appropriate for the service
aligned with their occupation. Employing agencies should confirm the original issuance date of the credential and
use the Crosswalk Guidance Chart in Appendix B and/or Table 2 found in Coded Correspondence 14-08 to
determine if an educator’s occupational experience is appropriate for their assigned Industry Sector.
The holder of a Preliminary Designated Subjects CTE Credential who completes a Clear program after September
1, 2014 has the option of keeping their original authorization or, if their occupation has moved, may transition to
the new Industry Sector. Educators who elect to change Industry Sectors must work with their program sponsor
to verify that the occupational training and experience held at the time the initial Preliminary CTE Credential was
recommended was appropriate for the newly aligned Industry Sector. See the guidance chart in Appendix A of
Coded Correspondence 14-08. The previously issued Industry Sector authorization will be removed from their
credential. Educators should confirm with their local employing agency whether any change in Industry Sector is
necessary for employment purposes.

Industry Sectors This chart is intended to be a guide. Some of the occupations, such as “drafting,” can be applied to more than one
Industry Sector. Program sponsors are encouraged to examine the work experience of the individual applying for
a credential and determine which Industry Sector best applies. Assignments should be considered in the same
way. The most important consideration is the background and the expertise of the individual. Effective September
1, 2014, some Industry Sectors have new titles, while some specific occupations moved into different Industry
Sectors. See Coded Correspondence 14-08 for more information.
