General Instructions

It is the applicant’s responsibility to review the requirements for the license/endorsement prior to application. Application fees are non-refundable.

To request an additional license/endorsement, you must submit:

• A signed Additional Endorsement Application;
• The $50.00 fee for each license/endorsement requested; and
• Official transcripts verifying that you have met the minimum credits needed to qualify for the license/endorsement. NOTE: Official transcripts must be submitted with the Additional Endorsement Application even if you have previously provided them to the Office of Teacher Licensure.

The Additional Endorsement Application has a check list and further instructions that should be reviewed prior to submission of the application.

VERY IMPORTANT: If you mail your application, it is strongly recommended that you send it Certified Mail™ Return Receipt to verify proof of delivery.

You will not receive a receipt for your licensure fees until we mail your license. Due to the heavy volume of applications received, office staff will be unable to pull your file for the purpose of providing you with a receipt in the event that you mail your application.

If you hold a renewable license issued by Nevada and otherwise meet the requirements of the license/endorsement but have a course work deficit of not more than 6 semester credits/two required course work areas IN TOTAL for all licenses/endorsements, you may be issued a provisional license/endorsement which will be valid for one (1) year from the date of issuance. If you do not complete the deficit course work within the year, the license/endorsement will become invalid.

NOTE: The deficit cannot be for student teaching/field experience/practicum required to obtain a teaching license.

In most instances, the additional license/endorsement will expire on the same date as the original license.

Information Specific to Certain License Holders

Substitute license holders:

Applicants who hold a substitute teaching license can submit the Additional Endorsement Application and fee(s) at any time to add a teaching license. If your 3-year non-renewable license has existing provisions, those provision removal dates will not change even though the new license will be extended an additional 3 years. If the initial testing provisions noted on the substitute license are not removed by the date indicated, both the substitute license and teaching license become invalid. Any new testing or course work provisions required for the teaching license will reflect the new expiration date.

3-year non-renewable license holders:

If your license has testing or course work provisions that have not been removed and you have not completed all necessary course work required to qualify for the license/endorsement that you are requesting, you must submit the additional endorsement application and fee within one year from the date your 3-year non-renewable license was issued or you will not be able to add to your license. If you apply for the license/endorsement within the first year and qualify to have it added to your license, the expiration date of the additional license/endorsement and any additional provisions will be the same as your initial license (in most instances). If you do not remove all provisions by the expiration date of the 3-year non-renewable license, you will not be able to apply for the renewable license. NOTE: No license holder may have a course work deficit great than 6 semester credits/two course work areas total for all licenses/endorsements issued.

You may add additional licenses/endorsements for which you fully meet requirements at any time within validity of the 3-year non-renewable license. The expiration date will not change.

Alternate Route to Licensing (ARL) 3-year non-renewable license holders: You cannot add any license or endorsement to an ARL license.
