Licensure
Application
The Educator Licensing and Recruitment (ELAR) System simplifies
Massachusetts educator licensing and other inquiry functions
by reducing much of the paperwork and time delay that typically
holds up licensure.
This system allows prospective Massachusetts educators to
apply for licensure or to renew their Professional level
license(s), track their licensure progress, view or edit
their licensure file, post their resumes, locate job openings,
and more via any computer.
To take advantage of ELAR, first register as an ELAR user
via the DOE Security Portal. By registering, you are creating
a user profile that enables you to perform Massachusetts
Educator Licensure functions.

Renewal/Recertification
of a Professional License
All professional level licenses have validity cycles of
five years from the date the professional level license
was issued or its last renewal date. These may be renewed
by the successful completion of the appropriate number of
professional development points (PDPs)
