    An important message from the office of Licensure & Certification regarding COVID-19

    As Delaware continues to try to limit the spread of COVID-19, the Delaware Department of Education is modifying how it provides support to its customers. While there is still no public access to our offices, those seeking help from Licensure and Certification are encouraged to call or email for assistance.

    For questions:

    • Employed educators, please contact your human resources office.
    • All other educators, please contact L&C using a method below:
      • By Email: Please send questions to deeds@doe.k12.de.us
      • By Phone: (302) 857-3388. Please leave a detailed message that includes your name, question or concern, and contact information, which includes both a telephone number and email address for response.

    New guidance regarding COVID-19 has been published on the DDOE Website.

    Submitting Official Documents
    The L&C Office prefers all documents are submitted electronically, if possible.

    By Email: Official documents should be sent directly to the Department from the originating authority (college, university, employer) electronically using the email address: deeds@doe.k12.de.us

    • Documents must be sent as a PDF (we cannot accept PNG, JPG, or other file types) and attached to the email, not copied in the body of the email.
    • The email address must be a professional email address from the originating authority - not forwarded by the educator.
    • For transcripts, the electronic delivery service must send the access link directly to the Department. L&C cannot accept forwarded links.
