Be sure to include your full mailing address. You may receive an evaluation for a certificate before having your fingerprints taken. However, prior to being issued any type of Maine certification, you must have your fingerprints taken through a process approved by the Maine Department of Education. However, if there is a question, you will need to provide official transcripts.
Legible photocopies are acceptable.
If you have transcripts from colleges outside the United States, you will need to submit a foreign transcript evaluation completed by a company recognized by this office. Please call us for the forms. If you had your scores reported to this office, you need not include them with your transcript. Individuals who have taken and not passed or have not taken the PPST or CBT, may be eligible for a one-year conditional certificate and should submit all other materials for an evaluation to determine eligibility. Exceptions to this time limit include convictions relating to harm to children.
