OpCert: EGLE's new operator certification database

EGLE is excited to launch Michigan's new operator certification database, OpCert. OpCert is an updated, user friendly system designed to improve access to certification information for wastewater and drinking water operators statewide. This modern platform streamlines application review, enhances data accuracy, and provides operators and facilities with faster, more reliable access to certification records.

Transition to the database

All EGLE operator certification programs are transitioning to the new OpCert database. Once established, the operator profile will serve as the official platform for viewing all operator certification information. This profile will be used for all program functions, including:

  • Maintain profiles
  • Apply for and renew certifications
  • Receive real-time applications updates
  • Track education and experience
  • View results
  • Track continuing educations credits (CECs)
  • View certificates
  • Make payments
  • Upload required documentation

Operators will now submit all materials through the online database.

Operator IDs are available

To support a seamless transition:

  • Your Operator ID is not your certificate number. Do not register until you have this ID, which can be found using the resources below.
    • If you are new to the programs, you can create a MiLogin account and self-register without an operator ID.
    • If you are a certified operator, locate your wastewater operator profile ID before proceeding.
    • If you are not yet certified, but have submitted information to the certification programs, locate your operator profile ID using this document. 
    • If you are unsure if you have an operator ID, please check both locations before creating an account. 
    • If you have both wastewater and drinking water operator IDs, register using the record that displays both IDs rather than a single-ID record. You only need to self-register within the new database using one of these IDs and it will link all your information.
  • Stormwater accounts and certificates are listed under “Wastewater” within the new database. You have a “Wastewater Operator ID” to access the database if you are already certified or have previously submitted information to the certification program.
  • If you have any concerns about linking your account, please contact either the wastewater or drinking water programs for assistance.
  • All users must log in using MiLogin.
  • Use a personal email address (not a work email) when creating your account to ensure long term access throughout your career.
