The next deadline for licensure
renewal is November 30, 2011!
NASW IL is NOT the state
licensing board, and is not responsible for changes to
the licensing procedures.
The following
information is to assist our members going through the
process, but by no means, the definitive resource and
may not be up-to-date with state licensure changes.
While we work diligently to maintain current information
regarding licensure, last minute changes may occur which
the chapter is unaware of. Please contact
IDFPR
regarding issues with the new licensure process and/or
to confirm updated licensure procedures.
