School Counselor License Renewal Process

Renewing your school counselor credential is relatively painless. It can be done online, or through the mail. You can renew your school counselor credential online every five miles by accessing the Educator Login button. It takes around 10 days for credential requests to process.

For more information and guidance on how to renew your school counselor license, here is more information.

Name Change

School counselors who wish to change the name on their certification must request to this change through the Request to Change Name or Personal Profile Form. This form though is only for name changes, not for addresses. You can change your address online through the portal. However, for name changes, you’ll need to send the change name form and additional documents to:
