When a new certificate is issued you will:

• receive an email from "SD.gov Portal <contactus@sd.gov>"
• the subject line will read “SD Certificate for Your Name – EDAPPxxxxxxx is Approved”
• within the email click on the link “View Certificate XXXXX X” and you will be requested to log into the Educator Portal
• download the PDF
• save your certificate to your computer and print it out for your records

 

To request a duplicate of your current certificate, you will need to log into the Educator Portal (https://www.sd.gov/educator) and select  "Request a Copy of my Educator Certificate" and pay the fee. 

• If you haven’t created an mySD account, you will need to do this prior to being able to access the application.
• If you login and it states "Create Profile" your mySD account is not linked to your Educator Profile and you will need to submit a "Contact Us"
  • Personal email address used when creating your new mySD account;
  • First and Last Name as it appears on your certificate; and
  • the last four of your SSN.
• If you need to change your name on your certificate, first complete the "Update Educator Profile" prior to the "Request a Copy of my Educator Certificate".

 

Other helpful tips:

• You may need to check your spam/junk mail.
• To obtain your certificate information, but not an actual certificate, you can search yourself on the Educator 411.
