Utah Teacher Reciprocity Agreements

The state of Utah allows teachers and individuals who have completed an accredited teacher preparation program out-of-state to use their current credentials to become certified in Utah. The following are a checklist of the materials necessary for completing an Out-of-State Teacher Certification application.

• The completed application form. Find the form on the Utah DOE website.
• The evaluation filing fee of $80 (fee increases to $90 on July 1, 2011). Make your check or money order out to USOE.
• Official copies of all college/university transcripts. Transcripts need to be originals, not photocopies.
• If you are a new graduate, and do not yet have a license from your home state, the recommendation of the institution that granted you your degree.
• If you have a license(s) from another state, an original or clear photocopy of said license(s).
• If you have teaching experience, verification of this experience.
• PRAXIS II test scores or a copy of your admission ticket.
• Verification that you have applied for the required background check.
