Application Form and Guide for Registration (TC1)

Who should use this application form? 

Use this form to apply for registration if you:

  • have recently completed a recognised initial teacher education programme in New Zealand and need to apply for registration and a practising certificate for the first time
  • completed a recognised teacher education programme in New Zealand and have not been previously registered in New Zealand (i.e. you are applying for a practising certificate for the first time); or
  • currently hold Provisional registration and need to reapply for your practising certificate
  • currently hold STC registration and need to reapply for STC registration and a practising certificate
  • currently hold Full registration and need to reapply for your practising certificate as you do not meet the requirements to maintain Full registration

If you have submitted a TC2 application to gain Full registration recently and your practising certificate is due to expire within the next two months, you will also need to submit a TC1 application to reapply for your practising certificate.

The application processing fee is $220.80 including GST of 15%.

If paying by credit card we will deduct the fee applicable at the time of receipt.
