Holders of Out-of-State Credentials (Reciprocity)
Holders of Licensure/Certification in Another U.S. State
Educators who hold a full and current license/certificate in another U.S.
state (including District of Colombia, Guam, and Puerto Rico*) will receive a
comparable license/certificate upon applying for licensure/certification in
Delaware. Such educators should follow the same application procedures as other
candidates, the only exception being that out-of-state educators who hold full
and current licensure/certification do not have to meet the Praxis I
testing requirement for licensure. Please keep in mind that each applicant will
be evaluated on an individual basis. In particular, out-of-state educators who
hold expired, emergency, limited standard, temporary, or otherwise restricted
licenses/certificates—different states may have different terms for these
categories of licensure/certification—are not automatically entitled to
a standard license/certificate due to reciprocity and will have to meet
Delaware's testing requirement (see testing).
*Asterisk indicates that holders of non-English language credentials must have
these credentials translated into English by an independent credentialing
agency prior to submitting them to the Department. The complete
course-by-course evaluation required of non-U.S. applicants is not required.

Holders of Non-U.S. Licensure/Certification
With the exception of individuals who hold full and current
licensure/certification in another U.S. state (see above), holders of non-U.S.
credentials, including transcripts, must fulfill all Delaware
licensure/certification requirements, including the Praxis I testing
requirement. In addition, credentials/transcripts issued by other countries
must be evaluated by an independent credentialing agency as part of Delaware's
licensure/certification application process (see non-U.S.).

policy.
