Board of Educational Examiners Reminder Service

The Board of Educational Examiners has begun to send electronic reminders of imminent expiration of certain licenses. Holders of Initial, Standard, Master Educator, and Administrator licenses will be sent an email indicating that one of their licenses will soon expire. Holders of a Class B or Class C (Conditional Licenses) will not be notified.

The email reminders will be sent out twice. The first reminder will be sent approximately one year before the date of expiration of the license; the second reminder will be sent approximately two months before the date of expiration of the license. 

Only those practitioners for whom the BoEE has a current and correct email address will receive this reminder!

How to check or update your email address

In order to receive a reminder, the practitioner must make certain that the Board of Educational Examiners has his or her current email address. In order to check or update your own email address, please visit the BoEE website (www.state.ia.us/boee). 

• Click on the third box in the upper line of boxes on the page (“Order a Duplicate of Your License or Update License Information”).
• You will be directed to an information page that states that if you make any changes in address, phone number, etc., you must click the “UPDATE” box or the changes will not take effect. Then click continue. 
• Click “Log on as Practitioner” on the left side of the page. You will need three pieces of information to log on: Folder Number (You will find it printed near the bottom of your license.), Social Security Number, Month and Year of Birth.
• Update any field to which changes need to be made.
• Click Update.

Whether practitioners receive a reminder or not, it is still each practitioner’s responsibility to take note of the expiration date printed on the license and to renew the license prior to that date. A late fee of $25 dollars per month will be assessed if the practitioner is found to be practicing with an expired license.
