IMPORTANT BACKGROUND CHECK INFORMATION

Background checks with EDN are for classified positions (such as substitute teaching) and are NOT eligible to be used for an educator license.聽If you completed a background check to be a substitute teacher, it is especially important that you verify that your background check was completed with a tracking number of either EDP or EDC.

How To Find Your Tracking Number:

  1. Go to this site聽鉃斅犅�
  2. Enter your social security number and date of birth to access your information.
  3. Look at the tracking number for the most recent entry.
    1. Only tracking numbers that begin with聽EDP or EDC are eligible for licensing.
