Texas Education Agency 1 Instructions for Finding Your Unique ID v.1.0
Instructions for Finding Your Unique ID
Your district or charter school obtains your Unique ID number through TEA’s Texas Student Data System
(TSDS) Unique ID system and uses it for internal and state reporting purposes so that your identity is not
confused with that of another educator. Using the Unique ID lessens the reliance on social security
numbers and helps to protect your information. (Note that it is not the same number as your TEA ID,
used for educator certification testing.)
To view your Unique ID, you will need to have a Texas Education Agency Login (TEAL) user account. This
is the same user account you use for maintaining your certification records. The login screen looks like
the image shown below, and the user name is usually in the format firstname.lastname.
If you have not logged in to view your certification records in the past three years, you may need to
create a TEAL user account. If you do need to create one, do that before following the steps below to
find your Unique ID. Find instructions for creating a TEAL user account at

To find your Unique ID:
1. Log in to TEAL at https://pryor.tea.state.tx.us/
with your TEAL user name and password.
2. Click Edit My Profile in the Self-Service menu on the left.
