Hey guys, thanks to those in the know for helping us newbies. Maybe someday we'll be in your position passing on our fountain of knowledge and wisdom to those lesser-experienced!
Anyway a quick and probably simple as question... I know our degree has to be apostilled and notarised, but how about our teaching qualification? Does my CELTA certificate have to go through the same process too, or is just a quick scan and a photocopy or 2 enough? |
Short answer = NO.
The CELTA (or other flavor of TEFL cert) does NOT go to immigration or the MOE and therefore does NOT need to be authenticated nor does the original need to be submitted..
Public schools just ask for a copy of it and do NOT need the original (in spite of what some recruiter may say). Bring the original with you if you want to prove its authenticity.

You don't have to wait 3-4 months for your docs. Contact your congressperson about the CBC and they will get it to you in 2 weeks or less. Then send it to WWW.uslegalization.com for your apostille and it will only take a day.
It's 40 bucks but it will save you a month of waiting. |
I have a question about this. So we just contact the State Representative for our district and ask them if it is possible to rush the CBC? |
I'd say contact your district's congressperson rather than the Senator, but I'm sure that it wouldn't matter either way. I just used my congresswoman. Don't ask if it can be done... politely insist. I included proof of a contract (use an old one or a sample one on some recruiter's website of you don't have one) and a letter explaining my situation as well as a privacy release form they gave to me and I got my CBC back in around 10 business days. My boyfriend did too and he has a different congressperson than me. They will need your application to have a tracking number so they can pull it out for you. If it doesn't have a tracking number, they won't be able to find it. |
