Do I need a certifier role? If you will be certifying documents on behalf of the water supply(ies) you oversee, you will need to request a certifier role for each supply.
**Please note that you do NOT need certifier status to prepare/upload documents. However, there does need to be at least one certifier role assigned for each supply, in order to certify (“approve”) documents and transition activities to EGLE for review/processing. Documents are not submitted to EGLE until certified and transitioned. You will need to request a certifier role or designate another water supply staff person or consultant to do so, following the numbered steps below.
Before requesting a Certifier agreement, you must have already requested access to MiEHDWIS through MiLogin for Business and have been approved by a MiEHDWIS System Administrator.
Log into MiLogin for Business.
Click Create Activity.
Choose the Entity Type of Community Water Supply.
Choose the Request Category of User Role Request.
Choose the Request Type of Certifier Request.
Then, fill in the Entity (water supply) for which you are requesting to be a Certifier.
Click Create.
At this time, the DWEHD District Engineer will verify the requestor’s relationship to the water supply.
Once verified by the District Engineer, the Administrative Contact for the supply will receive an email notification from the State of Michigan asking for electronic signatures using eSignature Solutions (OneSpan).
The Administrative Contact will need to click the link in the email which will take them to the SMS authentication. The Administrative Contact will need to enter the SMS code that was texted and then follow the prompts, which will lead them through the document signing process. Once the Administrative Contact has completed signing, an email notification will go to the requestor who will then follow the same process to sign.
⚠️ If you do not receive a text message, please contact the MiEHDWIS Help Desk for assistance.
Upon receiving the signed version back from OneSpan, DWEHD staff will update the Certifier Request Activity, upload the signed Certifier Agreement to the Activity, and assign the Certifier as a Contributor on the Entity (water supply).
OneSpan automatically sends the Certifier Agreement back to EGLE. DO NOT print off and send a copy back to EGLE. We cannot accept scanned copies.
Still need help? Submit a ticket to the MiEHDWIS Help Desk and someone from our team will get back with you.
