What is a Credential Verification?

A Credential Verification request is submitted if an educator (that has at some time been licensed in NH) needs to submit documentation to a state other than NH of an expired license, test scores, or other information. A Credential Verification can also be used for employment purposes outside the field of education.

General Information:

• We are not authorized to issue or print copies of expired credentials.

• We can issue you a credential verification letter that includes the type of credential you held in NH, the endorsements, status of the credential, testing, and the expiration date.

• If you have been provided a specific form for us to complete from another agency, please be sure you have completed your part of the form before submitting the form along with your Credential Verification Request and fee.

A Credential Verification application is NOT:

• a way to obtain a new credential in NH.

• a way to renew your license. If you wish to renew an expired NH license, please follow the directions to renew your NH license.

• a way to have us review your existing out of state license. If you wish to become licensed in NH via reciprocity, please read the requirements for reciprocity to determine if you are eligible.
