Please fill out the following information and include with your application:

NOTE: To determine your eligibility for an Indiana license, gather the materials below and send them to the Indiana Professional Standards Board at the address listed below. Check the items which are being sent and return this checklist with your materials. Failure to do so will result in delays in processing your evaluation request.
	Complete the entire duplicate application, State Form 9331.
	Answer questions 1-3 under License and Criminal History. Sign your name verifying that this information and the application is accurate.
	Sign the Loyalty Affidavit.
	Each level of evaluation requires a $35.00 cashier's check or money order. Click on evaluation to review the various licensing levels. DO NOT SEND CASH OR A PERSONAL CHECK. ALL FEES ARE NON-REFUNDABLE.
	Application Fee - Each license requires a $35.00 cashier's check or money order payable to the State of Indiana after the evaluation is completed. Send this fee only if you hold a valid out-of-state license and wish to have your Indiana license (one-year Reciprocal or five-year Standard) issued as soon as possible. DO NOT SEND CASH OR A PERSONAL CHECK. ALL FEES ARE NON-REFUNDABLE.
	Valid Out-of-State Teaching, Administration, or School Services License - Send photocopies of both sides of your unexpired out-of-state teaching, administration, and School Services license. Please send in all licenses.
	Transcripts Enclosed - Official transcripts must bear the registrar's signature and seal and the degree earned. Do not send photocopies, student copies, or grade reports. Provide transcripts of all completed work. Please send in official transcripts for all institutions you have attended. All transcripts should be sent directly to you for inclusion in your evaluation packet. We do not require transcripts to be sent directly from the institution in a sealed envelope.
	Teaching Experience - Dates of employment, positions held, grades and subjects taught or administered, whether the experience was full or part time, and accreditation of the school must be verified on official school letterhead from the employing superintendent or principal. The last school corporation that employed you may verify all of your experience.
	State Form 46699 - NCATE (National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education)/Compact Form. Contact the college or university licensing office where you completed your educator preparation program about completing this form. A list of Compact states and NCATE institutions in nearby states is located on the back of the form. Check with your institution to verify the NCATE accreditation if it is not listed. Some institutions may have recently gained this accreditation. (Be certain that your out-of-state licensing advisor completes the NCATE / Compact Form, if applicable. An NCATE or Compact recommendation could waive some or all course work deficiencies.)
	Official PRAXIS Score Reports - Official score reports of the NTE Core Battery and/or Specialty Area tests should be sent directly from the Educational Testing Service. Contact ETS at 800-772-9476 or praxis@ets.org. If your test scores have been sent into our office or are in the process of being sent to our office, please include a cover letter indicating this.
	Attach the original limited criminal history report after the Indiana State Police sends the report to you.(Effective July 1, 1997, all applicants for licensure must submit limited criminal history reports with their teacher license applications. The report is valid for one year.) -
Note: The licensing advisor will recommend you for the appropriate license, verifying that you have completed the approved program and the necessary exams, where applicable.
