Length of the Registration Period

The first registration period is five years and 0-11 months, with the expiration date on the last day of the month preceding the educator’s month of birth. For example, educators who first registered on August 10, 2017, and have a birthday on December 15, would have a registration period from August 10, 2017, to November 30, 2022.

After the first registration period, the length of subsequent registration periods is exactly five years. Therefore, the expiration date for future registration periods is always the last day of the month preceding the educator’s month of birth. For example, in the above case, the second registration period would be from December 1, 2022, to November 30, 2027.
