MyPSC Account Registration

Why register?

Beginning January 1, 2010, the GaPSC will no longer print and mail certificates and correspondence to educators. It will instead issue these documents electronically. This will result in faster communications – you no longer have to wait for postal delivery of your correspondence and certificate. You can access your certificate and correspondence anytime, anywhere. Obtaining duplicate copies of your certificate is easy and free – simply print another copy when you need one. Your access to the paperless system will be through your “MyPSC Account.” To view or print your certificate or to read correspondence from the GaPSC you must register a MyPSC Account.

Who should register?

A MyPSC Account must be created by all certified Georgia educators and applicants for certification, and individuals who have taken the GACE but have not yet applied for certification.

Why do you need my SSN?

For security purposes, we need to verify who is creating the account. Your SSN will be checked against the information we have on file for you during the registration process. This is handled through our secure website. Once your account has been created, your SSN will never be displayed and cannot be accessed by anyone. Protection of confidential information is of the utmost importance and we take strong measures to ensure security.

What is my PSC Account Number?

Your PSC Account Number is the six-digit number assigned when you submit certification application documents. This number is displayed in the upper right corner on your Georgia certificate and also in the upper right corner of certification correspondence from PSC. This number is used as your primary ID number in place of your SSN. The PSC Account number is needed for registration and for logging in.

Why do you need my email address?

Beginning January 1, 2010, the GaPSC will no longer print and mail certification correspondence to educators. All communications and correspondence will be electronic utilizing the email address you provide. Because this is the method we will use to correspond, it is critical that you provide a valid email address that you will check often. Please make sure that you keep the email address on file with us updated. If your email address changes, please update your MyPSC Account Profile with the new address. The email address is required for logging in to your account.

Why do you ask for a secondary email address?

Because all correspondence will be electronic, we want to provide a failsafe for email delivery. Having two email addresses allows a secondary way of ensuring that you receive your certification emails. While providing a secondary email address is optional, we strongly recommend your do so. Secondary email accounts can be set up free of charge from a number of sources (e.g., Google, Yahoo, etc.).
