On November 23, 2016, ESE announced the creation of a lookup tool on our website that allows the general public to find basic information about public school teachers' licensure status.
The Department frequently receives questions about individual educators' licenses. In creating the public lookup, we are making that information easier for the public to find and joining the majority of states that already offer such a tool.
The new public lookup is designed only for basic inquiries, so school leaders and hiring officials should continue to access the broader information available to them through the Educator Licensure and Renewal (ELAR) system.
