Hello! To all nurses who want to process their own ILLINOIS license. This is how you file thru mail and follow up thru email. I've been through a lot of hurdles. So, may this guide will help you and clear up some confusion.
Yes! we can do it and it's very easy to follow. Some opt to let agencies process it, though we all know charges are quite expensive, more than half of the original charge/price. Just trust your gut and process it on your own, if you want to save.
Here's How_TIPID MODE:
📌 When Once you received your pass letter, simply follow the instructions: Detach and complete the bottom portion of the form and send it with the check or money order (Demand Draft) to Illinois Division of Professional Regulation, P.O. Box 7007, Springfield, Illinois, 62791, it is totally fine not to write their phone numbers/email.
(courier: Philpost 1460 php you can track it on their website ( https://tracking.phlpost.gov.ph ) it will roughly take 4-7 days, not bad at all.lol)
So, if there will be no changes/error with your name & address just simply sign it. However, for name change ( marriage license, divorce decree, etc) submit/attach a copy of a legal document. For address change, simply print/write it. With the SSN, if you have a temporary SSN indicated, it's totally fine to write it down. Well, even though it's temporary mine was considered.
📌 Demand draft:
You can go to any bank and request a demand draft amounting to $50. I opted to BDO cause it was the nearest bank. They did charge me $5 in order to create one. Payable to the Division of Professional Regulation (DFR)

Make sure you have an account to do this. If you don't have any account in the bank, you may let someone you know create one on your behalf as long as it is
payable to DFR and just pay him/her afterwards.

| Just a guide |
📌 Just sharing my short story..I mailed my application as well as the demand draft amounting to $50, to the address indicated Aug. 30th then they received it Sept. 6th. It's already more than a month and I still didn't hear anything from them (IDFPR), so my anxiety increased. In addition to that, I've heard that I can follow up thru phone but they need fingerprint receipt or something(so if you email them no need to process another fingerprint). I know what you are thinking, its a hassle & additional money/payment will be needed.
With regards to SSN confusions, I've heard so many hearsay, like you need not have to write it if its just temporary, you need notary from the atty or have to call IDFPR to let them know that you are an international graduate or something like that, in order for them to fully process your license, and many more chika galore and again additional charges. lol. Don't bother.

| IDFPR notification |
So, I asked my friend in the US to call/follow up on my behalf and for security reasons, I know it will never be disclosed. The main purpose of the call is to ask a valid email address because I can't seem to find it online (IDFPR website). The options are mail/phone call. Anyway, I got it (Email: fpr.nurseunit@illinois.gov) and emailed them Oct 3rd, they responded Oct 24th. So, I suggest you email them as early as possible once you verified that they received your application. Furthermore, since they need to verify details from you, I suggest you have to indicate that in your email, whatever is written on your application (name & address).

📌 For those who are asking if we can verify the license thru nursys website (https://www.nursys.com), Yes, we definitely can. Just a reminder, do not worry too much if you can't verify it right after receiving your license # cause it takes quite some time for them to update the details. On my end, I'd say roughly 3-4 days before i can verify it thru nursys. So, for those who still doubt do not worry too much or stress yourself this is indeed valid 😊😊😊😊 Bwalaaah! it really worked.
If you have any query just post a comment below and I'll get back to you as soon as I can.
Let us help one another and make this more interactive, If any of you can answer other queries then feel free to answer them.
God bless nurses..
May we continue to care and inspire one another

I tried availing money order from landbank but the bank required the IDFPR bank and bank account.. do you have info about these?
ReplyDeleteHello, you may try to request a demand draft instead of money order. I guess the reason why they request a specific bank account for money order cause it can only be cleared in a very specific branch while demand draft gets cleared in any branch which is basically a direct transfer of payment from one bank to another. hope it helps.
