The Illinois Department of Financial & Professional Regulation (IDFPR) has gone live with their new renewal portal.
While the software is live, please know this is a new platform for the department and there are bound to be issues. The department has made us aware of one issue currently existing: "Please allow 2–4 business days for your license to post in our systems and your license status to update. We are working to improve our capacity for online renewal traffic and hope to implement performance optimization throughout the week."
To apply for LSW and LCSW renewal through the new IDFPR portal:
Click on New Applications
Register as an Individual and review the options; if renewing your LSW or LCSW license, click Yes below and Next to continue.
Follow prompts to enter your information.
To print a copy of your license with the new extended February 28, 2022, expiration date:
