VDOE - VALO

The VDOE no longer mails license certificates or communications to divisions or individuals. Please set up your VALO account to access license information, provisional evaluation letters or any other correspondence from the VDOE regarding your teaching license. Please refer to the VALO User Guide available on the website for getting started and navigating VALO.

Individuals can print a current license, change name/address and print VDOE communications regarding a license. If you are a PCS employee and adding a degree or endorsement via VALO, please notify Lisa Parker. The division does not receive a notification of these requests.
