MT Licenses Have a New Look!

The OPI is no longer mailing licenses to educators. Once an application is complete and approved in the TMT system, an educator is able to print their license instantly! If you are currently employed by a Montana school district, this is the license you need to register with your local county superintendent. They are aware of the change and know what the new license looks like!
