Licensure E-Signers

The process for submitting and reviewing teacher licensure applications is completed through the online Educator Licensure and Records (CORE) licensure system. Authorized electronic signers (e-signers) from schools, districts, local professional development committees (LPDCs) and higher education organizations must review and approve or decline application requests online.

Please note that Educator Profile is an important resource in CORE, which school, district and university personnel with e-signer roles may use to access additional information regarding applicants, including their previously issued credentials, other pending applications, and background checks. Additionally, e-signers may click on the email address displayed in an applicant’s demographic section to send that individual application instructions or requirements he or she needs to fulfill for the license or permit requested. See the CORE E-Signer Manual for more CORE tips.
