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.

From the Ed-ID portal, no notification will be sent to a user. Schools will see the approval/completion from the Student Management Area on the Ed-ID portal or from reports returned via their SIS. Because SIS vendors are developing have their own integrations with Ed-ID, your individual vendors will need to provide guidance on how this will appear when working through them."

IDOE anticipates that kindergarten round-up for the 2023-2024 school year will be completed via uploads in Ed-ID. Users will be able to complete a .csv file to upload requests, then retrieve the newly assigned IDs via the portal. SIS vendor certification may not be complete to support the 2023-2024 kindergarten round-up. If STN requests will be made via the SIS API, it is important that you consult vendor support to ensure that you are handling these future enrollments accurately. If you are using templates, follow the guidance provided for the Student Create template. Data Exchange Knowledge Hub > Ed-ID Support Hub > Ed-ID Portal Templates
