Applying for a License

Personal Injury

Zimmerman Law Offices, P.C. has substantial experience with the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation (IDFPR) and can assist you, whether you are trying to gain licensure or are in need of representation to defend your license. Mr. Zimmerman is an experienced attorney who has successfully persuaded IDFPR attorneys and the board to grant licenses.



License Application Process

To begin the licensure application process, you must submit a completed application form, required supporting documents and an appropriate fee. The IDFPR maintains detailed licensure requirements for each profession, and the Acts and Rules for each profession contain the licensure requirements.

The IDFPR licensing and testing division processes the application, reviews the applicant's history and, if necessary, assembles a professional licensing board or committee to review the application more closely. Along with reviewing the application, the licensing and testing division may also administer appropriate tests and, if the applicant meets all necessary requirements, it will issue a license to the applicant.

Verdicts & Settlements

Pharmacist Application Denied to Russian Woman - The Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation (IDFPR) denied a Russian woman's application to become a licensed pharmacist. We obtained documents and sworn statements from her pharmacy school in Russia, and represented the woman in a formal administrative hearing at the IDFPR. The IDFPR administrative law judge (ALJ) upheld the denial of her license application. We appealed the ALJ’s ruling to the circuit court and won. The circuit court reversed and vacated the ALJ’s decision, and the court allowed the person to become licensed. As a result, this was the first time that a graduate of a Russian pharmacy school was granted a pharmacist license in Illinois.
