RapBack


The State Board of Education monitors the Rapback enrollment of all licensed educators. Beginning in July 2024, the State Board will monitor school bus and van drivers and other individuals working in schools in positions that do not require an education credential.

There are 4 parts to enrolling into Rapback
A) Create an OHID Account
B) New User Profile Setup
C) Request an Educator State ID
D) Enroll in Rapback
The instructions below will help you thru these parts.

Go to https://ohid.ohio.gov/

STEP 1: Click on Create OHID Account button


STEP 2: Provide an email address. It is suggested you use a personal email so that the OHID follows you if you change districts. Click “Send Pin” after entering your email.

STEP 4: Enter the required information and click next


STEP 5: Pick a username. I suggest just using your email address.



STEP 6: Create a password.


STEP 7 : OPTIONAL enter your cell number and hit “Send Pin”, then next. There you will enter the pin. Otherwise, you can hit “skip this step”


STEP8: Check I agree, answer the robot question and click “Create Account”

B) New User Profile Setup

Now that your OHID account is done, you must now set up a user profile. Go to https://ohid.ohio.gov/ to log in to your OHID account

STEP 1: Choose either “Visit the App Store” or “APP STORE”




STEP 2: Type in CORE, then click the search icon

STEP 3: Scroll to the bottom and click on “Request Access”

C) Request an Educator State ID

The next step is to request an Educator State ID number for use in the CORE system. The Educator State ID is necessary to complete Rapback enrollment.
NOTE: It can take up to 24 hours before you can request an ID in CORE after doing the Profile set up above.

Go to https://ohid.ohio.gov/ to log in to your OHID account.

STEP 1: Click “Open App” from the my apps screen.

STEP 2: Click on either of the “My Profile” links.
Note: if you get the green success screen instead, you will need to wait longer before accessing CORE.

STEP 3: Click on “Obtain Educator State ID”

STEP 3: Answer the pop up box questions

If you answer Yes to any of these questions, you already have an Educator State ID. You may be prompted to select an account that matches your demographic information. Once you have answered all the questions correctly, your Educator State ID will be assigned automatically and appear on your CORE Dashboard under My Educator State ID.
Please note: If you are a credentialed educator in the State of Ohio, you already have an Educator State ID. You will see it on your CORE Dashboard under My Educator State ID and in My Profile under Educator State ID. IF you are a credentialed educator in the State of Ohio and the Obtain Educator State ID button appears, you may have a duplicate record. This requires maintenance in the data system. DO NOT click Obtain Educator State ID if you are a credentialed educator. Please contact Educator Licensure Customer Support at Educator.Licensure@sboe.ohio.gov to correct the duplicate records

Step 4: Click “Assign my Educator State ID”

STEP 5: You will see the green success popup. Click “Go back to Dashboard”

STEP 6: You will now see your ID number listed. You can now logout .

D) Enroll in Rapback

Rapback enrollment will begin on July 1. More information is forthcoming.
