The Virginia Department of Education (VDOE) will no longer mail teaching licenses, licensure letters, or correspondence to teaching licensure applicants. Applicants and license holders can use the e-Government (eGOV) Online Licensing Portal to check the status of their licensure and to access all licensure documents from the VDOE. You must register for an eGOV account to use the portal; directions are provided below. Please also note:

• As a backup, save your documents as a PDF.
• If you are on the provisional licensure track, please upload your documents to your provisional licensure folder in the shared Google Drive folder.
• If you are not on the provisional licensure track, please email your documents to Michael Thomas, Organizational Development & Learning Specialist
