Professional Certification and Licensure Forms

Follow the directions on this page to submit forms that require proof of education from the Office of the Registrar for licensure, including:

• New York State Education Department (NYSED) Form 2: Certification of Professional Education.
• Any out-of-state certification forms for licensure.

Forms required for teaching certification, including institutional recommendations, must be submitted to UB’s Office of Educator Preparation.

Forms can take up to 10 business days to process and may take longer during peak periods (specifically during May and June due to degree conferral).

Clinical Social Work, Psychologist and Nurse Practitioner forms require additional information from the academic department. These forms will be forwarded to the department on the student’s behalf and then finalized by our office. Processing time may take more than ten business days.

We recommend that students request their transcript and upload their licensure form through Parchment. Orders placed through Parchment include expedited processing, order tracking and secure delivery. Both electronic and paper transcript options are available.

1. As students move through their Parchment order, they will see the question, "Is Your Attachment Complete?"
   
2. Please choose the following option as the response "No, my attachment must be completed by the University before my transcript is sent (attachment must be uploaded below)".
3. The licensure form students upload will be completed by our office and the academic department, if applicable. It will then be sent out with the student's official transcript.

Students can bring the form in person to 1Capen or 1Diefendorf or mail or fax it to the Office of the Registrar, which will complete it. 

The Office of the Registrar will mail the form and transcript (if required) directly to NYSED by regular U.S. mail. Please note that tracking and estimated delivery dates are not provided.

• UB does not charge a fee for verifying licensure education.
• Parchment charges a fee for faster processing and for the student to receive an email with the status of the order.
