Electronic licenses and summer hours
The Iowa Board of Educational Examiners is no longer printing and mailing licenses as of July 1, 2016. Check our website under “search for a license” to view your license or to see if a pending licensure transaction has been processed. Our website version of your license is considered your official license record.
Due to the large volume of requests, transactions in the summer take a minimum of four to six weeks to process. Please do not contact our office to check the status of an application unless it has been longer than six weeks.
In order to best serve Iowa educators by processing transactions in a timely manner, licensure consultants will not be available by phone until after 10:00 a.m. during our busy summer months.
May BoEE Update 2016
This information was also sent out last week via email to all licensees in our system who had a valid email address.
