Your issued certificate(s)

You will not receive a printed copy of your issued time-limited certificate(s) such as the Provisional, Initial, Transitional, Teaching Assistant Levels I, II, and Pre-Professional types. Instead, you can verify that your certificate has been issued by logging in to your TEACH Online Services account and viewing the certificate table in Account Information. Once you have the end-level certificate such as Permanent, Professional, and Level III Teaching Assistant, you will receive a printed copy of these certificates. For more information go to the frequently asked questions on Printing of Time Limited Certificates Discontinued.

• Effective and Expiration Date: Please take notice of the effective date and validity period of your end-level certificate. Certain certificate types, such as Initial, Provisional, and Teaching Assistant certificates are time-limited. You must complete the requirements for the next level certificate before the first certificate expires. For more information on certificate validity periods, go to Types of Certificates and Licenses and Frequently Asked Questions - Effective Date.
  
  
• Duplicate Certificates: If your certificate is lost or stolen you may apply for a duplicate certificate.  Login to your TEACH Online Services account to apply for a printed certificate. For more information go to Duplicate/Printed Certificates.
  
  
• Certificate Time Extensions: If you are unable to meet the requirements for the next level certificate before your certificate expires, you may be eligible for a time extension. For more information, go to Time Extension of a Provisional, Initial, or Transitional Certificate.
