The Educator
Licensing and Recruitment (ELAR) System simplifies
Massachusetts educator licensing and other
inquiry functions by reducing much of the
paperwork and time delay that typically holds
up licensure. This system allows prospective
Massachusetts educators to apply for licensure
or to renew their Professional level license(s),
track their licensure progress, view or edit
their licensure file, post their resumes,
locate job openings, and more via any home
or otherwise accessible computer.
Applicants seeking licensure
and meeting all of the requirements will be
able to get their license within weeks, a
significant improvement from the existing
paper and pencil process, which can take many
months.
To take advantage of ELAR,
first register as an ELAR user via the DOE
Security Portal. By registering, you are creating
a user profile that enables you to perform
Massachusetts Educator Licensure functions.
ELAR is a key piece of
the state's e-government initiative. Massachusetts'
e-government portal, Mass.Gov is a starting
point from which citizens can reach all information
and services provided by the Commonwealth.
