[PDF] TSC TEACHER TRANSFER APPLICATION FORM (Online Applications Guide)

Teachers Service Commission (TSC) Transfer Form is a document filled when a teacher is seeking transfer from one school to another.

This form is filled by a teacher who wishes to change his/ her current workstation. The form enables the commission to consider a teacher’s intra and inter-county transfer request. The reason for seeking the transfer must be satisfactory enough to warrant the transfer. Such reasons as ‘on medical grounds’ with supportive evidence are presumably given much weight by TSC. Those with organized swaps also get an easy ride. 

It is important to note that getting a transfer from one station to another is one of the uphill tasks a teacher can undertake. It is not easy especially if one has not completed the five-year minimum requirement or three-year requirement for teachers in the North-Eastern Part of Kenya.

Another hindrance to one's transfer is if the teacher happens to be the only one employed by the commission to teach the two subjects in the school.

However, there is no room to despair when seeking a transfer. There is an alternative option where you can seek a swap. A swap only works when the two teachers are in mutual agreement and they teaching the same subjects combination.

While filling TSC transfer form it is a requirement that the form is completed in triplicate by a teacher applying for inter-County/Intra-County transfer whereas if the transfer being sought is within Sub-County, only one copy is completed.

The following details are required:


  • Full name (BLOCK CAPITALS, SURNAME FIRST).
  • TSC Number, Mobile phone Number, and Email.
  • Teaching Subjects.
  • Job Group.
  • Current Station the Sub-County and County in which the school is found. The length of stay at the present school and Length of stay in the same Sub-County.
  • Present assignment(This could be any responsibility given assigned e.g class teacher, Head Of Subject, or H.O.D).
  • Institution to which transfer is requested for the Sub-County and County in which it found.
  • When is transfer required.
  • Reason for transfer.
  • Name, Signature, and Date.
  • Head of institution’s recommendation (after the headteacher has written his or her recommendation, he or she is required to indicate his or her name, TSC number, official rubber stamp, append signature, and indicate date)

Once all the above details have been filled in the form, the teacher should take the form to the TSC county office for further consideration. The decision to be taken depends on the recommendation made by TSC County Director/Staffing Officer.

Note 1: Applications should be completed in TRIPLICATE. Two (2) of these copies should be forwarded to the County Director/Staffing Officer through the head of the institution for a recommendation, and distribution as follows:

(i) Original to the Teachers Service Commission.
