Effective January 1, 2007 renewals for Clear Professional Credentials or 30-day sub permits are accepted online only. Paper submission will be returned by the California Comission Teacher Credential.

Access: www.ctc.ca.gov  

Click on “RENEW ONLINE” (orange lettering). Follow the directions.

Cost: $102.50. Only MasterCard or Visa will be accepted. (You may purchase either a gift MasterCard or Visa card with this limit for renewal purposes).

Submission: Up to one year in advance using current renewal date on your credential as the start date.

Late Submission: The renewal cannot be backdated e.g. if your renewal date is Feb. 1 and you apply online Feb. 2, your renewal will be considered late and the county will hold your paycheck. Late submissions will need to apply for a 30-day substitute permit at the Orange County Department of Education for an additional charge of $55.00 to cover the day(s) you did not have an active credential. You cannot apply for the 30-day sub permit online.
