We have become aware of an issue with the IDFPR Licensing renewal system. 

UPDATE as of 11/19/24 

The below email has been sent by the IDFPR to those that paid for their renewal in error. Please email Patrice Cooper (ILAPPS Executive Director - [email protected]) if you are still having issues getting your refund.

Hello,

This email is to inform you that Podiatrist licensees who paid during the last renewal period (in Fiscal Year 23) are entitled to a fee waiver for the renewal period that opened November 1, 2024. If you are receiving this email, you have been identified as being eligible for the fee waiver and, therefore, entitled a refund. We are in the process of issuing a refund to your original form of payment and appreciate your patience.

Thank you. 

IDFPR

 UPDATE as of 11/15/24 

IDFPR recognizes that certain individuals paid for their renewal (in error) and they are working towards issuing a refund to their original forms of payment. Please email Patrice Cooper (ILAPPS Executive Director - [email protected]) with your payment details to let her know you paid and are awaiting a refund. ILAPPS will work as a liaison to make sure our members receive a refund as quickly as possible.

UPDATE as of 11/8/24 

We're pleased to share an update on the recent issue with the IDFPR Licensing renewal system.  

As communicated by the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation, "Individuals who paid their renewal fee for FY 23 will not be charged a fee for the current renewal cycle. We've also worked with our IT vendor to ensure those that paid a fee last renewal cycle will not need to pay a fee this renewal cycle."  

If you have already paid your renewal fee in error, please contact the IDFPR directly to request a refund. The Department is working to identify and refund these payments proactively.
