On Monday, your healthcare license reinstatement form will be available on the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation website, IDFPR.com, and on our COVID-19 website, coronavirus.illinois.gov — and they'll be processed on an expedited basis.
For medical professionals whose licenses may be expiring, we are automatically extending your licenses through the end of September.
This is heroes’ work and all of you have our deepest gratitude for your willingness to serve.
