Michigan Online Educator Certification System

Governor Whitmer signed into law Public Act 110 of 2023 and Public Act 111 of 2023 which expand reciprocity and support experienced educators in becoming certified or recertified in Michigan. These are effective July 27, 2023.

The Michigan Department of Education is actively working to update guidance and systems, including the Michigan Online Educator Certification System (MOECS), to reflect the changes in the law. Our web pages will be updated as information becomes available. 

 


The Michigan Online Educator Certification System (MOECS) is a secure web-based system that allows educators to register and create private accounts and have access to all of their certification data, apply for certificates and endorsements, and renew their certificates. MOECS accepts only credit cards as payment for application services; Visa and Master cards are accepted.
