To protect data security and ensure document authenticity, the Utah State Board of Education (USBE) is updating its rules for submitting official licensing records.

What is Changing?

Starting soon, all official licensing documents must be sent directly from the issuing source.

• Transcripts and Evaluations: Official college transcripts and credential evaluations must come directly from the issuing university, college, or evaluation service.
• Test Scores: Official score reports (such as Praxis or the Utah Foundations of Reading) must come directly from the test provider.
• Work Verification: Work verification forms must come directly from your former employer.

Important Rules for Submitted Records

• No Transfers Between Offices: USBE will no longer forward transcripts or documents to school districts, nor will USBE accept transcripts transferred from school districts.
• State Record Policy: Once USBE receives a document, it becomes an official state record. We cannot copy, return, or forward submitted documents. You must request separate copies directly from the original source for your own files or district records.

Current Process During the Transition

Applicants may continue using current submission methods until the effective transition date. We will share more information as it becomes available.
