How to establish a MyPSC account
- Follow the screens to create your account. Be sure to enter your full legal name exactly as it appears on your legal ID (Driver’s license or passport; NOT your UGA ID card) and complete all required fields.
- Your MyPSC account will assign you a Georgia certification ID number (GA CERT ID). A GA CERT ID is used for identification throughout the test registration and certification process.
- Print your MyPSC account information, so that it will be handy when you register to test on the ETS GACE website
- A printed version of directions can be found here.
Correcting or updating your MyPSC account
It is extremely important to keep the information in your MyPSC account up-to-date because the information you enter is uploaded into the ETS GACE registration system. Occasionally, ETS and GaPSC staff may need to contact you in the event there is a last-minute change in a test administration’s reporting address or reporting time. Keeping the information current in your MyPSC account—especially your phone number and email address—is your responsibility. By doing so, you enable ETS and GaPSC staff to contact you if the need arises.
You can update your mailing address, phone number, and email address by logging in to your MyPSC account.
If your name has changed, the name change must be reflected in your MyPSC account. Name changes must be made in conjunction with your primary ID documents. The name in your MyPSC account must match the identification document(s) you will present at the test center.
If you need to change your name, go to the GaPSC website, print out and complete the three-page application in your new name and either mail or fax it to the PSC as directed on the application.
