Educators can prepare to renew a permit
or license by starting with the ABCs.

Applications. All educators use the Connected Ohio Records for Educators (CORE) system to renew their licenses, permits or certificates online. The online process provides a secure environment for educators to update their demographic data and pay licensure fees using a credit card or electronic check. Those who have not yet done so, must first create an OHID account to access the online application.

Background checks. Before starting a renewal application, educators should make sure their background checks are still valid.
