MyPSC Account – Register Today!

The GaPSC is moving to paperless certification. Beginning January 1, 2010, the GaPSC will no longer print and mail certificates and correspondence to educators. It will instead issue these documents electronically.

Going paperless will have several important benefits. First, it will result in faster communications. You will no longer have to wait for delivery of your correspondence and certificate. Second, it is more convenient. You can access your certificate and correspondence anytime, anywhere. Third, going paperless will result in significant cost savings on paper, printing, envelopes, and postage. For educators, obtaining duplicate copies of your certificate is easy and free—simply print another copy when you need one.

Your access to the paperless system will be through your “MyPSC Account.” Once implemented, individual accounts MUST be created by all certified Georgia educators, applicants for certification, and individuals who have taken the GACE but have not yet applied for certification. To view or print your certificate, or to read correspondence from the GaPSC, simply log in to your account. We will even notify you via email when new correspondence has been posted.

The web portal is targeted to be available this November. Everyone will need to take a few minutes to create his or her account at that time. We will provide more details as we get closer to the implementation date.

Please note these three very important points:

• Who must create a MyPSC Account? All certified Georgia educators, applicants for certification, and individuals who have taken the GACE but have not yet applied for certification.
• As part of the account creation process, it is critical you provide a valid email address. Since correspondence will be via email, you will need to use a reliable email address—one that you check often. To make sure we are able to reach you, you may enter a second, backup email address during the registration process. While providing a secondary email address is not required, we strongly recommend you do this. If your email address changes, you will need to update your MyPSC Account with the new address.
• You must have your certification ID number to create and log in to your account. Your six-digit certification number is your GaPSC Account Number. This number is printed on your certificate and on correspondence from GaPSC. Please keep this number handy.

The new launch page for MyPSC will provide an easy and convenient way for you to access your certificate, check your status, and get the information you need when you need it.
