Educator Licensure


Now processing:

All applications received (in the pending review status) the week of November 4, 2024

To prevent the delay of licensure issuance, please review the Licensure Application Checklist to identify the documents required for obtaining licensure in your desired area of certification. If you did not submit the Verification of Lawful Presence (VLP) form and required identification with a previously submitted licensure request, a copy of a valid and acceptable form of identification must be uploaded with your next most immediate licensure application submission. Applications that are submitted without supporting documents will be considered incomplete and the educator will be emailed “requirements” language stating which documents are needed to process the licensure request.
