Endorsement License Procedures for CT Tech in Illinois

Before beginning the endorsement license process, it is crucial to ensure that you meet the eligibility criteria set by the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation (IDFPR). To practice as a CT Tech in Illinois, you must have completed an accredited Radiography program and hold a valid certification from the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT). Verify that you fulfill these initial requirements to proceed with the application process.

The next step involves gathering the necessary documentation for your endorsement license application. The IDFPR requires the following documents:

1. Proof of completion of an accredited Radiography program
2. Proof of current valid ARRT certification
3. Verification of any out-of-state licenses you hold, including disciplinary actions (if applicable)
4. Official transcripts from your educational institution

Ensure that you have these documents readily available in digital format to streamline the application process.

To initiate the endorsement license application, visit the IDFPR's website at [idfpr.com](https://www.idfpr.com). Navigate to the 'Professions' section and select 'Radiography' under 'Applications.' Locate the 'Endorsement Application' and follow the prompts to complete the form. Ensure all information provided is accurate and attach the required documents in the designated sections. Pay attention to any applicable fees that may be associated with the application process.

Once you have submitted your endorsement license application, the IDFPR will begin the verification and review process. This stage may involve verifying your educational credentials, checking your ARRT certification status, and reviewing any out-of-state licenses held. Be patient during this phase as it may take several weeks for the IDFPR to complete the process. You can check the status of your application on the IDFPR's website under the 'License Look-up' section.

As a CT Tech in Illinois, it is essential to stay updated with the latest advancements in your field. The IDFPR requires all license holders to complete a certain number of continuing education hours to maintain licensure. Stay informed about the specific requirements and available courses through the IDFPR's website and professional organizations like the American Society of Radiologic Technologists (ASRT).
