IDFPR launches 24 additional license types to new licensing system

CHICAGO (WAND) - The Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation (IDFPR) has announced that 24 additional professions can now obtain licensure through the Department’s newly launched online licensing system, known as CORE (Comprehensive Online Regulatory Environment).

This announcement signifies the successful conclusion of Phase 2.3 of CORE, with the final segment of Phase 2 expected to wrap up this summer.

According to the IDFPR, Phase 2 aims to incorporate additional license types into CORE that are currently limited to paper applications and aren’t supported by the legacy online licensing system. This initiative will eliminate the necessity for paper applications, which often lead to longer processing times due to the review of submitted materials.

Individuals applying for their first license in professions that are now available on CORE are encouraged to use IDFPR's new online licensing system for their application.

The additional license types launched on CORE today are:

Barber School	Interior Designer
Canine Instructor	Landscape Architect
Cemetery Authority	Nail Technician School
Cemetery Exempt	Nonresident Mail-Order Ophthalmic Provider
Cemetery Partially Exempt	Nurse Continuing Education Sponsor
Continuing Medical Education Sponsor	Occupational Therapy Continuing Education Sponsor
