About this site
A search layer over a public state register. Not IDFPR, not legal advice, and not a judgement on anyone.
The source
Everything here comes from the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation's Professional Licensing dataset on the State of Illinois open data portal, under the Open Data Commons Open Database License, collected on 2026-08-20.
⚠️ The scope: active licences only
The source holds 4,392,883 rows covering 3,869,845 licences. Most are not live — 2,020,966 were never renewed, and others are expired, cancelled, surrendered or held by someone who has died. This site loads the 1,249,194 that IDFPR marks active.
That is partly practical: 3.87 million entries do not fit in a static search index. It is also the honest scope for the question this register answers — can this person practise today? But it has a consequence worth stating: absence from this site is not evidence that someone never held a licence, only that they hold no active one now.
Where the site stops on purpose
IDFPR publishes the reason for every disciplinary action, including unpaid taxes, child support arrears and defaulted student loans. No page here attaches a sanction to a name, and none carries a reason; the counts are published because a rate describes the system rather than a person. The full reasoning is here, and it costs this site its most clickable pages.
What this site is not
- Not IDFPR, and not affiliated with it or the State of Illinois.
- Not the official lookup. IDFPR's is live; this is a snapshot, and it covers less.
- Not legal advice, not a rating, and not an endorsement of anyone.
