What the public record can answer

Arizona Department of Education

  • 01

    Current certificate information Arizona makes available in the public educator portal

  • 02

    Endorsement information associated with the public educator record

  • 03

    A result maintained by the Arizona Department of Education rather than a copied directory

Record timing

At this review, Arizona publishes a typical processing window of three to four weeks from September through April and four to eight weeks from May through August. The private portal – not the public result – is the place to check a submitted online application.

If the search comes up empty

Issued certificate vs. pending application

Arizona applicants use My Certification Portal to view current credentials and the status of submitted online applications. If the certification unit needs more information, the department says it contacts the applicant by regular mail.
