The Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation announced the launch of its new online licensing platform, Comprehensive Online Regulatory Environment (CORE). This system simplifies the application process for various professions, beginning with clinical psychologists, nail technicians, and music therapists. The initiative aims to transition over 300 license types to CORE over the next two years, enhancing service delivery and regulatory efficiency.
“Everyone wanting to earn a living in Illinois in the 21st century should have tools of the times available so they can be licensed and get to work as soon as possible,” said IDFPR Secretary Mario Treto, Jr. “Combined with our steps to streamline our current processes, CORE demonstrates our commitment to fulfilling that mission for the betterment of Illinois, and I look forward to our team fully transitioning our services to this new system over the next two years.”
