Record timing
LVIS360 describes the public data as real time. A pending application remains a separate private record until IDOE finishes the licensing action.
If the search comes up empty
Check these before you stop
- •Check the last-name spelling and try the name that appears on the educator's Indiana record.
- •Switch to license-number or SPN search when you have either identifier.
- •Use the private LVIS360 account for an application that is still being processed; it may not appear as an issued public license yet.
Issued certificate vs. pending application
The public search shows educator licenses and history. Applicants check a submitted or saved application inside their private LVIS360 account under Application Status, where IDOE also shows requests for more information.
