Wisconsin Educator License Look-UpYou can use the license look-up to:
Please note: The Position Code for all elementary education (regular education) licenses is being updated from 42 (Prekindergarten - 8) to 45 (Elementary Teacher). This update has NO impact on the subject/grade levels of the educator's license. There is no need to obtain a new version of the printed license certificate. For example, someone who holds a 42-116 license now has been updated to 45-116 and this newly updated license still allows the educator to teach students in grades 1-6. posted 9-12-07 Enter the Educator License Database Search Page How long will it take to get my license? What can I teach with my license? License code explanations Is your current license expired or about to expire? If you submitted an application for renewal but have not yet received your new license, you may use the data base search to see the date of the "Most recent application received" on your licensing records. "When an applicant has made a timely and accurate application for the renewal of a license or a new license of a continuing nature, the existing license does not expire until the application has been finally acted upon by DPI." (Ch. 227.51(2), Wis. Stats.) This means that, although we may not be able to process a license renewal request until after the date of expiration, the applicant is still legally licensed. An applicant may use a photocopy of the license application, a cancelled check, or a printed copy of the data base search results as proof that a timely application for renewal has been made. Please keep in mind that the date of the "Most recent application received" is updated in our data base only after your application fee payment has been processed by DPI's Milwaukee bank, the bank has couriered that day's applications to our Madison office, and Madison staff has entered your application information into our data base. During our peak season (May to September), it may be 5 to 10 working days before your application will be entered into the data base. If the license search function is not working, notify Robert Kott. Last updated on 3/3/2008 9:31:49 AM |
