Welcome to the Renewal and Duplicate Certificate Online Applications

At A Glance

Renewal Request
Idaho Educational Credentials can be renewed online *only if* there are no changes to endorsements and the current credential expires on August 31st of this year. Any renewals requiring changes or additions to certifications or endorsements must be done using the application under "Mail-in Forms" in the menu above. The online renewal process cannot be used to renew a 3-year Idaho credential; it may only be used to renew a credential that has a 5-year validity period.

If you are renewing an Occupational Specialist credential please do NOT use this process. For information on renewing an Occupational Specialist credential, e-mail certification@cte.idaho.gov.

Renewal certifications cost $75.00. For online requests, a $3.25 convenience fee will be added to the transaction. Renewal applicants will receive two (2) copies of the credential.

The online renewal process can only be used for renewing credentials that expire on August 31st of this year. If you are not sure when your credential expires, please see the Certification Lookup Tool: https://apps2.sde.idaho.gov/CertificationLookup/Search.

Duplicate Request
A certificate holder of a valid certificate may request a duplicate certificate online. Two (2) copies of the certificate will be printed and mailed for the cost of $10.00. For online requests, a $1.30 convenience fee will be added to the transaction.
