Licensure Renewal

Educators will receive a reminder email from ISBE when it is time to renew their license. To renew, educators can log into their ELIS account starting April 1 of the year their license expires.

If your license requires professional development hours and/or Administrator Academies hours and the renewal option is not available, make sure all hours are met and entered on your Professional Development tab and adjust your employment status accordingly. For step-by-step instructions, please review ISBE's How Do I Update My Employment Status Guide.

NOTE: You will not be able to renew until all PD/AA requirements are met.
