Thank you for your interest in becoming a licensed educator in Illinois! If you hold a valid license from another state that allows you to serve as a teacher, school support personnel, or administrator in that state’s public schools, you can transfer your license to Illinois and receive a professional educator license endorsed in a comparable area. If you have not obtained an out-of-state license, you can still qualify for a professional educator license by meeting additional requirements. Follow the steps below to get started.
