ALERT! As of April 6th, 2009, we are no longer accepting first-time registrants holding Emergency 30-Day Substitute Teaching Permits unless you are currently enrolled in a credentialling program and student teaching.

If you are a first time credential applicant to the Commission on Teacher Credentialing, a $71 livescan criminal background clearance charge payable to the Sheriff’s Department is also required in addition to the livescan clearance fee of $52 for substitute teaching in Marin County.  If you need CTC Livescan and the substitute clearances (listed below), have them done at the same time and ask for two appointments when scheduling with the Sheriff's Department.

In California it is prohibited by law for different employing agencies to share confidential fingerprint results with each other. If you have not previously done so, you must electronically fingerprint (Livescan) for the Marin County Office of Education to substitute teach in Marin County, regardless of fingerprinting for other agencies.

Fingerprint Clearance is required for employment as a Marin County Substitute Teacher. Clearance for the Marin County Office of Education Request for Livescan meets this requirement for all Marin public school districts as a substitute teacher.  Submit receipt copy of the Livescan when applying. The processing fee is $52 payable to the Sheriff’s Department ($32 DOJ/$20 rolling fee).  You must bring a Livescan Application Form and a picture ID.  Applications are available to print out (see below) or can be picked up at MCOE.  Livescan (computerized) fingerprint services are available, by appointment, at the following locations:
