Administrator Certification Section Forms
Forms are listed first by those used for administrator certification and then by those used by vendors.
Administrator Forms:
LIC 9214 – Application for Administrator Certification – Both initial and renewal applicants submit this form. In addition, this form is submitted by a previously certified administrator who did not renew their certificate within four (4) years from the date of expiration and so must reapply. NOTE: ACS is not responsible for reviewing the “high school diploma or equivalent …” so initial applicants DO NOT need to submit it with their LIC 9214.
LIC 9163 – Request for Live Scan Service –This form is used by the applicant to submit their fingerprints to the Department of Justice for processing. The applicant submits a copy to ACS with the initial administrator application.
Vendor Forms:
New! The ACS Now Accepts Online Payments for Vendor Applications and Request for Course Approvals
Processing fees for Vendor/Renewal Applications and Request for Course Approvals can now be paid via credit card on the Vendor Automation Platform. Please note that online payments are not available for applications submitted via postal mail. For additional information, please refer to the section below.
Vendor Information – Application Processing
The ACS encourages vendors to submit vendor applications, course requests, change of instructor requests, rosters, etc., using the Vendor Automation Platform. The platform allows vendors to track submissions and receive ACS notices confirming the transaction.
Registering to access the system is free and easy. A one-time registration for your vendorship will be required upon your first use of service. Registering for an account does not mean you are an approved vendor.
If you have questions or wish to share feedback on the Vendor Automation Platform, contact the Administrator Certification Section – Vendor Support and Review Unit at: ACSVendorInfo@dss.ca.gov
