We are responding to these calls and emails in the order we receive them. There is no need to call or email us again. If you have placed an application in LVIS, it will be worked in the order received. We are working hard to handle your request as soon as possible. We appreciate your patience.

LVIS, IDOE’s new online application system, has been designed with enhanced self-service features to make it easier and faster for you to apply for and receive your credentials.

To obtain a printed version of your license (new, current or old), you can log into your LVIS account and print your license(s) from there. There is no longer a duplicate fee for printing licenses because the license holder is responsible for printing his or her license from LVIS.

Here are some of the highlights of LVIS:
** You create a personal profile that you can update as necessary.
** You can instantly upload documents required for licensure during the application process.
** Automatic email messages will be sent to you with updates on the status of your application.
** As soon as your license is approved you can log in to your LVIS account and print your credential.
** Multiple licenses will be displayed on a single educator credential.
** You can record and track your professional development and have your PGP verified by your building administrator online.
** No more inconvenience buying a money order or cashier’s check. Pay online with your personal Visa or Mastercard or use a pre-paid Visa or Mastercard purchased from a local retailer.
