Step 1.
 
To request reinstatement (click here for requirements)  of your certificate by mail and you are not currently  employed in a Maryland local school system:

  • Send a cover letter with your name, complete mailing address, social security number, personal e-mail address,certificate type, and validity dates of the last certificate issued.  If you have a copy of the last certificate issued, send a photocopy.
  • Submit official transcripts in an unopenened mailer for six (6) credits (either college/university) or MSDE Continuing Professional Development credits earned within the past five (5) years. Photocoies are not acceptable.  Individuals holding certification in a teaching area must submit reinstatement credits in reading if the reading requirement has not been met.  Click here for reading requirements.
