EIS: Checking Credentials/Status

Employers have access to some basic information about an applicant’s in-progress and current credentials. As anyone that creates a myNHDOE/EIS account is given an Ed ID and educator account, the term educator is used below. This does not mean that everyone with an Ed ID/educator account is a credentialed educator.

 

Viewing Educator Accounts

Access the educator’s account

  • Log in to myNHDOE and select the appropriate user role.

  • From your EIS Home screen, use the black Search tab at the top of the screen to locate the educator.

  • If Ed ID is known, use this. An applicant that has created a myNHDOE/EIS account should be able to provide this number to your from their myNHDOE/EIS profile. This is the best way to ensure you are looking at the correct educator’s account.

  • Search with only one metric at a time: name or DOB is usually best, to avoid missing someone if there is an error in one or the other.

  • Name Search: use as few letters in last, first name as possible to avoid instances where the educator is using a nickname, hyphenated name, or there may be a spelling error. Example: Michael search as Mi to account for Michael and Mike.

  • SSN: do not use this as a definitive search, as some educators submit paper applicants and don’t provide a SSN - the system assigns a random number.

  • Address/City/Zip/Phone/Email: Please note an educator may have an old address, phone or email in their account which may be different than what is supplied on a current job application.

  • Confirm ID: When you think you have found the correct person if not using Ed ID, on the search results page confirm DOB and/or last four of SSN. You will not have access to see this information in the profile after you click View.

 

  • select View in the search results

  • Effective (this date should be the same as the issued date, except for Intern Authorization endorsements which may be retroactively effective to hire date)

  • Expires (the date the endorsement expires)

    • this date should match the date the license expires, regardless of when during the renewal cycle the endorsement was issued if on a BEL/EEL

    • please note there are SOE endorsements that have dates of expiration long into the future - this was a work-around in the past as SOE’s formerly did not have expiration dates and lasted an educator’s lifetime. Since the 10/2020 rule adoption, SOE’s are only valid for 3 years from issuance. The expirations dates and statuses of SOE’s issued prior to 10/2020 have not yet been updated in EIS to reflect these rules. To calculate if an SOE endorsement is still valid, add three years to the SOE endorsement issued date.
