Changing your name on your license
If you have changed your name, for example as a result of marriage or
divorce, you must notify the Illinois Department of Financial and
Professional Regulation, Division of Professional Regulation.
You are not able to make this change via email or other electronic
communication. You must submit a written notice to the Department at the
following address:
Division of Professional Regulation - LMU1
320 West Washington Street, 3rd Floor
Springfield, IL 62786

You must include documentation of your legal name change, such as a marriage license, court order or divorce decree.
New copies of your license with the changed name can be obtained from
the Department by paying a fee. There is no fee to change your name,
but there is a fee to receive a new license with the name change made.
The current fee for a new copy of the license is $20.
APTA and IPTA members please note that changing your name on your
license does NOT automatically change your name on your membership. If
you want to change your name on your APTA/IPTA membership file, you must
call Membership Services at APTA, at 800-999-2782. You do not need to
notify the IPTA separately, as information is shared between APTA and
IPTA on a monthly basis.
