Quick answer
To prepare a primary teaching licence application, prepare required academic certificate and transcript, teacher training or education qualification, citizenship, current TSC notice and subject details, confirm the current process with the Teacher Service Commission and its official online portals, complete the official application, and keep the receipt or reference for follow-up.

Step-by-step process

Fees and timelines
- Do not rely on an old fee screenshot or an agent's estimate. Check the latest official notice, citizen charter, portal, or responsible office before paying.

Common mistakes
- Using an old form, notice, fee, or unofficial link

- Paying an unofficial person or personal account without an official receipt
- Ignoring the difference between a new application, renewal, correction, duplicate, verification, or transfer
- Eligibility depends on the current notice; a general academic degree may not replace required teacher training.
