Licensure Renewal

Welcome to the Licensure Renewal information page. As the owner of your teaching license, you should maintain accurate records of each license renewal activity and keep copies of all information. Should you leave the employment of Loudoun County Public Schools, the license renewal information you maintain is what you will take with you to your next destination. Make certain all information is accurate and signed by your renewal advisor (Principal, Assistant Principal, or Supervisor).

HRTD must receive all renewal documentation by January 19, 2024. You may submit your completed packet of renewal documents to the Department of HRTD between January 2-19, 2024. Applications should not be dated before January 1, 2024. You can submit by interoffice mail(Pony) in a red envelope, HRTD dropbox on the 1st floor of the administration building, or by USPS mail. Please indicate your licensure specialist's name on the envelope. Licensure Specialists Assignments.
