Online Payments for Paper Applications

Select Professions Can Now Pay Application Fees Online!

Starting June 4, 2024, as part of a pilot program, professionals in select professions will be able to submit payments for their paper applications online using ePay.

ePay is a full-service electronic payment program specifically designed for Illinois governments so they can quickly and securely receive monies through convenient, customized payment channels that offer constituents easier, faster payment choices to pay fees 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Eligible professions in the Division of Professional Regulation (DPR) and the Division of Real Estate (DRE) are listed below as part of an IDFPR pilot program, with additional professions being added at a later date.

Starting June 4, 2024, professionals in select professions will be able to submit payments for their paper applications online using the ePay Portal.

DO NOT submit payment via this portal if you submit your application and fee payment through the Online Services Portal. This portal is intended for paper applications only. If you paid through the Online Services Portal, do not pay here.

DO NOT use this e-pay system for testing fees. Any and all required testing fees required to sit for an exam must be paid to your test provider.

Starting November 23, 2024 Nail Technician and Clinical Psychologist will no longer use ePay for new application payments. New applications and payments for these professions should be submitted through our new CORE system. Please visit our CORE page here.
