If you didn't print the page, you can still get your account ID number in the "View/Update Profile" area in your MEIS account at www.michigan.gov/meis. The user name and password will be the same for MEIS and MOECS. Anytime you need to reset your password, it will be reset through MEIS. You may update your personal information in both systems. All communication regarding your certification and/or application(s) will be sent to you from MOECS using the email address you provide in the demographics portion of your MOECS account. If you choose to have a new password emailed to you, MEIS will use the email address associated with you in that account. MEIS also allows you to change your password immediately, without having to wait for an email. http://www.michigan.gov/mde/0,4615,7-140-5683_14795---,00.html
