Updating your profile with the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) in Kenya is now an online process.
As the commission continues to digitize its services to improve efficiency and accessibility, teachers can register, update their profiles, and access other services.
TSC Profile Update Process

- Visit the TSC’s web portal.
- Click “Register,” then select “Update Profile.”
- Fill in all the required information and click the Enter button.
- Input the four-digit code sent by TSC. If you do not receive the code, you can request it again.
- Continue filling out the required fields and click “Next” until the process is complete.
Before accessing the site, you must input your TSC number. It’s important to scan and upload the required certified copies of all documents before you begin.
