Credential Validation and Registration
The Commission on Teacher Credentialing has made information available to provide immediate access to credential information. The credential information serves as the official record of certification. Changes, updates, and/or corrections made to records may take up to 2-4 weeks to be reflected on the website database.
All persons hired by Marin County public school districts for positions requiring administrative, teaching, service, and special education credentials, as well as other permits and certificates must register their authorizing documents with their employing school district. The districts notify the Credentials Analyst of all new hires.
