With Ed-ID, school personnel will no longer assign IDs locally. Instead, they’ll utilize the Ed-ID portal to request IDs for students and staff. The new Ed-ID portal will continue to assign a unique, nine-character Ed-ID for a student, beginning with the letter, 'T'. This ID will be assigned randomly rather than being assigned by the school , which utilized the next available number for that school. Staff will continue to have an eight-digit Ed-ID. Existing STNs and SPNs will still be valid and usable. IDOE will not be creating new Ed-IDs for existing students or staff. |

Once a user submits a request to create a new Ed-ID, a search of existing IDs is first performed and the system assigns a score based on potential, existing matches found. If no records exist with a high match score, the request for a new Ed-ID will be auto-approved and created in the Ed-ID portal. If a potentially high match exists in the system, that match will be displayed back to you. If you request a new ID anyway, this will be queued for a support specialist to review and approve/deny.

Schools’ SIS vendors have the ability to connect directly to IDOE’s API to allow the SIS vendor system to request the Ed-ID directly through the local SIS. Many SIS vendors are working to connect their systems to IDOE’s identities API at a later date. Vendors will be certifying these data as part of the certification process for Ed-FI v6 for SY 2024 and providing training on their systems. Users should anticipate using manual processes and user interfaces via the Ed-ID portal throughout the 2022-2023 school yearuntil the SIS vendor has completed certification and provided training.
