Administrative Rule Ed 504.04 – Emergency Authorization was repealed by the State Board of Education as of July 12, 2024. This repeal removes the responsibility of issuing One-Year Certificates of Eligibility from the Department of Education’s Bureau of Credentialing and transfers that responsibility to the local school district.

Instructions for One-Year Certificate of Eligibility processing

All USPS and carrier deliveries (FedEx, UPS, etc) must be addressed to New Hampshire Department of Education, Bureau of Credentialing, 25 Hall Street, 3rd Floor, Concord, NH 03301. Paper Applications will be updated as soon as the Administrative Rule approval process is completed.
