Requesting an official document

You can request an attestation of the validity of a teaching licence, a certified copy of a teaching licence or a certified copy of a notice of conditional eligibility.

Attestation of the validity of a teaching licence

To obtain this document, you must complete the form entitled Request for an attestation of good standing with regard to the validity of a teaching licence (PDF 67 Kb).

Certified copy of a teaching licence

If your teaching licence has been lost, you can request a certified copy by completing the form entitled Request for a certified copy of a teaching licence (PDF 36 Kb).

Certified copy of a notice of conditional eligibility

If your notice of conditional eligibility has been lost, you can request a certified copy by completing the form entitled Request for a new notice of conditional eligibility (PDF 88 Kb).

When applying for a teaching licence you may be asked to provide two types of copies of documents: a certified copy and a sworn copy.

• A certified copy is a copy that is made from an original document and bears the original signature of a person acting as a legal representative of the organization that issued the document.
• A sworn copy is a copy made from original documents in respect of which the holder has taken an oath before a Commissioner for Oaths and has declared that the copy is a true copy of the original document.

In either case, the person who acts as a legal representative or a Commissioner for Oaths must print their contact information in block letters on the copy (name, title or function, address and telephone number where the Ministère can reach them).
