New Jersey State Requirements
Education Requirements
New Jersey requires substitute teachers to have completed a minimum of 60 semester hours of college credit from an accredited institution. A bachelor's degree is not strictly required, but candidates with a degree may qualify for additional substitute credential types. Official transcripts must be submitted to the county office of education as part of the application process.
Background Check
All substitute teacher applicants in New Jersey must undergo a criminal history background check, including fingerprinting, through the New Jersey Department of Education and the FBI. The fingerprinting process is conducted via the state-approved vendor (IdentoGO). Applicants cannot begin working until the background check has been completed and approved.
Age Requirements
Substitute teachers in New Jersey must be at least 18 years of age at the time of application. This is a statewide requirement that applies to all substitute teaching credential types issued through the county superintendent's office.
Application Process
Applicants must obtain a substitute teaching credential through the county superintendent's office in the county where they wish to work. The application requires official transcripts, proof of background check clearance, and the applicable fee. Once issued, the credential is valid only in the county where it was issued, though applicants may apply in multiple counties if desired.
