Renewal Reminders

  • Start your CE requirements early — don't wait until the last few months before your deadline.
  • Keep copies of all CE certificates. Many boards require proof of completion during audits.
  • Check whether your state accepts online/self-study CE or requires a portion to be live (in-person or webinar).
  • Set a calendar reminder at least 60 days before your renewal deadline to ensure you have time to complete any remaining requirements.
  • Visit the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation website for the most current renewal instructions and fee schedules.
