WHAT IF YOU WANT TO ADD A NEW LICENSE?

LICENSE FEES WAIVED FOR VETERANS AND THOSE IN THE MILITARY

The fees for any initial Ohio educator license, permit or certificate – or for a renewal – will be waived for candidates who are veterans or current service members of all branches of the United States Armed Forces, including the National Guard or Reserves. Spouses of active duty services members also may receive a license free of charge. Those seeking the fee waiver will need to upload a scanned copy of a military service verification document. Learn more about this and other programs to support military families here.

ARE YOU READY TO APPLY?

You will see steps for initiating a license request within the ODE.CORE system on the How to Renew webpage (for renewals, and adding fields and endorsements); and on the How to Apply page (for a new credential).
