TODAY: Final License Renewal Deadline (8/31/2023)

The Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation (IDFPR) has now extended the 2023 license renewal deadline from July 31, 2023, to August 31, 2023.  

The variance was issued to extend the 2023 expiration date of chiropractic physicians, medical doctors, and doctors of osteopathy from July 31, 2023, to August 31, 2023, The document states, “This Variance is granted based on technological system challenges utilized by the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation and the Department’s determination that certain licensees have encountered online renewal issues.” 

IMPORTANT NOTE:  The IDFPR variance document does not extend the deadline to complete CME beyond July 31, 2023, and the Department has confirmed to the ICS that all CME should have been completed July 31 or prior.  It  appears that the IDFPR will grant the fee waiver through August 31, 2023, and will not impose late fees until after August 31, 2023. All other statutes, rules, and regulations will apply.
