You pay no fee for an Ohio educator license if you are a veteran, a current service member including the National Guard and Reserves, or the spouse of an active duty service member. Ohio also runs a streamlined licensing process for military-connected educators, including alternative routes to licensure that consider your experience, academic qualifications and professional accomplishments.
Apply for your educator license through the Ohio State Board of Education licensure system and provide your military documentation so the fee is waived. For help, call 614-466-4109 or email OhioMVEP@education.ohio.gov.
Your DD214, current military ID or orders, or your marriage certificate and the service member’s orders if you are applying as a spouse.
