If you need to renew your substitute certificate

Applications to renew a substitute certificate should be submitted no sooner than 30-90 days prior to the expiration date of the current substitute certificate. (This date can be found by logging into your profile, or it will be in the letter provided by the sub secretary.)

1.    Log into your profile in the certification system.  Once you are logged in, click on the Substitute application located in the menu to the left of your profile screen.

2.    Complete and submit the application.

3.    Transcripts must be submitted if not currently on file with the department.  To determine if your transcripts are currently on file, log into your certification account.  Click on the education link located in the menu to the left of your profile screen.  Transcripts must show that they have been received.

4.    A new criminal fingerprint/background clearance will be required if you have not been employed as a substitute teacher during the current school year.  Please contact KES for help registering for a background check and to the find the closest fingerprinting location.  The Registration Number for Hannibal 60 Substitutes is 1313. 

Please be aware there is a cost to renew your certificate.  The fee is $50.  This must be paid online at the time of renewal.
