License Information

Notices

  • Exam Information (updated June 10, 2025)
  • NAB Exams: Applicants for the Nursing Home Administrator (044) license will now apply to both IDFPR and to NAB so that IDFPR can review qualifications for the exams. In December 2024 the ability to be approved for the CORE and NHA exams through Continental Testing Services (CTS) ended due to a change in the NAB testing process.
  • Illinois Supplemental Exam: IDFPR will approve applications for this exam, administered through Continental Testing Services.

Third Party Authorization

  • We have a new Third Party Authorization for licensure applicants, which may be found here! This is for applicants to authorize individuals or companies to contact IDFPR on your behalf regarding your application. All other versions of the form will no longer be accepted by the Department starting May 1, 2024.
