Type 73 Certificate Renewal
On July 1, 2008, Illinois implemented renewal requirements for individuals who hold School Service Personnel Certificates and who are employed in positions requiring the certificates in Illinois public schools during the five-year (Type 73) or ten-year (Master) validity cycle of those certificates.
The law does not require anyone in nonpublic schools to participate in professional development activities to renew certificates. If you are employed by a nonpublic school or you are employed as a substitute on a part-time basis or a day-to-day basis, you are only required to pay the registration fee in order to renew your certificate.
For this purpose, “employment” in a public school is defined as performing services in an Illinois public or state-operated elementary or secondary school, or cooperative or joint agreement with a governing body or board of control in a certificated position or in a charter school in compliance with the Charter Schools Law If employed under these circumstances, you must maintain your certificate(s) as valid and active and must complete continuing professional development in order to “renew” them. Successfully completing the renewal process allows you to pay registration for the next validity cycle.
On or after September 1 of the final year of your validity cycle, you submit a “Statement of Assurance” in which you list sufficient professional development to cover the timeframe you were actively employed during the validity cycle. Once that Statement is approved by your Regional Superintendent (a locally elected official authorized to make recommendations for renewal and register certificates for educators in the county or counties served by the Regional Office of Education) and the State Teacher Certification Board (as opposed to the State Board of Education), you may reregister with your Regional Office of Education for the next validity cycle
