Consultant Certification Information System

The online CCIS Online System was designed to allow you to update your firm or employee information, to add an employee to your firm and to allow a new firm to submit an application for precertification. If you are using the online CCIS Online System for the first time, please see instructions below.

The online CCIS Online System will not allow you to:

• delete employees from your firm,
• change your firm name,
• transfer employees from one firm to another, or
• view another firm’s information.

In order to complete any of the above transactions, submit comments or to get help with the Web Application, please contact our Consultant Contract Office at (512) 416-2218 or by e-mail.

Receive notification (normal processing takes approximately ten days) via e-mail of your assigned User ID (also referred to as an ACID, pronounced A-Sid) along with complete instructions for signing onto TxDOT's mainframe and subsequently, the CCIS Online System. These instructions will include steps for obtaining the initial password and procedures for changing that password.
4. Complete the Web Application located within the CCIS Online System

   Note: Your application or update will not be reviewed until you notify CCO by clicking the "Send Notification" button.

TxDOT will contact you via the contact information you've provided to inform you that the precertification process has been completed. You will be provided with a report of the outcome of the process.

Please note: There may be times when the CCIS Online System is unavailable due to maintenance. Please be patient.

Leaving the CCIS Online System idle for 30 minutes will "time-out" the system.
