How to Submit a New Merge Request

A New Merge Request allows you to request that two STNs be merged. When you identify that an individual is associated with two unique IDs, you may submit a merge request through the Ed-ID portal. The request will be electronically routed to the appropriate Identities Approver at IDOE. IDOE will make the final determination for most merge requests.

Open

What the “New Merge” Request form appears as in the Ed-ID portal.

• From dashboard, select either Student/Staff Search or Student/Staff Management.

• If searching via Student/Staff Search button, search on STN/SPN that should be retained then click Merge as Target.

• If searching via Student/Staff Management, click New Merge Request.

2. Complete both the left and right side of the form.

• Source Student Test Number - This is the Ed-ID that you are requesting to be removed.

• Target Student Test Number - This is the Ed-ID that you believe should be kept.

3. It is required to enter information in the Submission notes field for IDOE.

• Suggestions include:

  • Short note about why you are recommending the target STN be kept: Has previous assessment data, has IEP, etc.
