Licensure

All Illinois Educator Certificates have transitioned from a certificate system to a licensure system, moving from 60 types of educator certificates and endorsements to just three licenses:

  • Professional Educator License (PEL)
  • Educator License with Stipulations (ELS)
  • Substitute License

You can access your license data through the new ELIS - Educator Licensure Information System. You will need to login to your ELIS account at http://isbe.net/ELIS/default.htm.

If you have questions or need assistance regarding your Educator License credentials, applications, renewal, registration, endorsements and/or approvals, please contact West 40 at 708-449-4284.
