Use the educator page to renew your existing credential(s) or permit. If the document eligible for renewal is a dependent, you will be required to identify the basic credential. If your credential does not meet the online renewal criteria, you will be required to renew your application by mail. Some credentials and permits may require you to file your renewal application through your employing agency.
Recommendations
Use the educator page to complete your online recommendation from an authorized institution or agency. Applicants will receive an email notification when a recommendation is submitted. Individuals will be able to complete and pay for the application or return it to the institution or agency. The payment process must be completed within 90 days or the application will be purged and a new recommendation will need to be completed.
Direct Web Applications
Use the educator page if you are seeking to obtain the Certificate of Clearance or the Activity Supervisor Clearance Certificate.
This process may also be used by applicants prepared In-State, Out-of-State and Outside the United States who do not require an institution's recommendation for the document. It has three steps: verifying qualifications by reviewing requirements, completing and paying for the application and submitting all supporting materials and coversheet by mail. If supporting documentation is not received within thirty days after online submission, the application will be denied and the application fee will be considered earned.* Any subsequent application submitted will require a new application fee.
