IDFPR Advances Phases 3 and 4 of CORE, Expanding New Licensing System with 16 Additional License Types

CHICAGO - The Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation (IDFPR) today announced it is advancing Phases 3 and 4 of CORE (Comprehensive Online Regulatory Environment), bringing 16 additional license types onto the state's modernized regulatory platform. The expansion marks a major step in transitioning from legacy systems to an integrated, enterprise-wide solution that supports the full lifecycle of professional regulation.

With this phase, CORE evolves beyond an online licensing portal to a 360-degree regulatory system that will integrate licensing, continuing education, inspections, compliance, and enforcement into a single record. The platform will provide regulators with enhanced tools to protect consumers while giving professionals a more transparent, efficient, and user-friendly experience.

"By implementing CORE in thoughtful phases, we are getting this right the first time, advancing the system deliberately so each step is secure, intuitive, and centered on the people we serve," said IDFPR Secretary Mario Treto, Jr. "Every profession added reflects the power of collaboration between IDFPR, the Department of Innovation and Technology, and Department leaders committed to modern, transparent regulation in Illinois."
