Staff UID System

The North Carolina Department of Public Instruction (DPI) uses a Unique Statewide Identifier (UID) System that enables LEAs and Charter Schools to assign a unique statewide identifier for every staff member who participates in the NC education system at any point in time. The Staff UID System enables reliable matching of staff-level records over time and across DPI applications and remains valid even if staff members move to a different North Carolina public school. The Staff UID System is built on the eScholar Uniq-ID® for Staff product.
Login to the Staff UID system, via the link below, using your NCID credentials:
