UPGRADE STEP 2: APPLICATION PAPERWORK

Following the review of your educational transcripts, the official credential application and corresponding paperwork will be emailed to you (or mailed upon request). The initial background check fee of $150 should be paid prior to your meeting with your Sectional Presbyter (using the payment portal below).

 If you are completing the application through DocuSign, you do not need to bring any paperwork with you.

 If you are completing a paper copy of the application, please bring the completed application, including a photo, notarized release forms, and a copy of the applicant’s Social Security card to this meeting. 

Note: If you are applying to upgrade from Certified to Licensed within 18 months of receiving your certified credential certificate, we will waive the $150 background check fee.
