Endorsement License Procedures for Radiation Therapists in Illinois

Before beginning the endorsement license procedure, it is vital to familiarize yourself with the requirements set by the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation (IDFPR). Visit the IDFPR website to access the latest information on licensing requirements for Radiation Therapists. The website can be found at: [IDFPR Website](https://www.idfpr.com/profs/radthrp.asp).

Once you have reviewed the requirements and are confident that you fulfill them, it's time to complete the application. To begin the application process, visit the IDFPR's Online Services Portal. This portal allows you to create an account, submit your application, and track its progress. Access the Online Services Portal here: [IDFPR Online Services Portal](https://www.idfpr.com/profs/RadThrpApply.asp).

As part of the endorsement license procedure, you will need to provide certain supporting documents to the IDFPR. These may include your educational transcripts, proof of clinical experience, and verification of your current license. Refer to the application instructions on the IDFPR website for a detailed list of required documents and guidelines for submission.

To facilitate the endorsement process, the IDFPR requires verification of your current license from the state where it was originally issued. You can request license verification using various methods such as paper forms, electronic forms, or through a third-party verification vendor. Visit the National Association of State Radiation Control Program Directors website for a list of available verification methods: [NASRCMPD Verification Methods](https://www.nasrcmpd.org/verification).

To complete your endorsement license application, you will need to pay the required fee. The IDFPR accepts online payments via credit or debit cards. Details regarding the application fee can be found on the IDFPR website under the 'Fees' section.

Once you have submitted your application, the IDFPR will review it for completeness and accuracy. The review process may take several weeks. It is crucial to monitor your Online Services Portal account regularly for any updates or requests for additional information from the IDFPR.

Upon successful review of your application, the IDFPR will issue your endorsement license. You can access and print your license directly from the Online Services Portal. Congratulations! You are now licensed to practice as a Radiation Therapist in Illinois.
