Renew a License

All educators now use the Connected Ohio Records for Educators (CORE) system exclusively 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.

​

Before starting your renewal application, be sure your background check is still valid.
