Step-by-step precertification:

1. Obtain a User ID for using the CCIS Online System by completing Security Access Form 1980 and Security Access Form 1828. This User ID will also be used to access the on-line CCIS Online System once your firm becomes precertified.
2. Mail both completed and signed security forms to:

TxDOT Design Division, CCO
Attn: Paula McGinley
125 East 11th Street
Austin, Texas 78701-2483

3. 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
5. Submit your application or update by clicking the "SEND NOTIFICATION" button.
   NOTE: YOUR APPLICATION OR UPDATE WILL NOT BE REVIEWED UNTIL YOU NOTIFY CCO BY CLICKING THE "SEND NOTIFICATION" BUTTON.
6. Relax. According to TxDOT Administrative Rules regarding precertification and contracting, TxDOT has sixty (60) days to review your application after receipt of complete and accurate information. 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.
