CHICAGO — To make the process of applying for professional licenses more accessible to constituents, State Senator Natalie Toro and State Representative Jaime Andrade are working with the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation to offer mobile office hours at Rincon Family Services.

“From hairstylists to chiropractors to roofers, many of us need to renew our professional licenses to continue working under state law,” said Toro (D-Chicago). “IDFPR’s mobile office hours will make this necessary process more straightforward and efficient, saving residents time and stress so work can continue without any hiccups.” 

The mobile office hours will be held at Rincon Family Services, located at 3710 N. Kedzie Avenue in Chicago, from 10:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 28.

Attendees will be able to receive assistance from IDFPR professionals on a variety of services, including renewing or applying for a professional license, receiving information about the agency’s initiatives supporting the adult-use cannabis industry, learning how to file a complaint regarding a financial institution and more. The workshop aims to make the renewal process more understandable and empower members of the community with the skills to be able to re-file for their license renewal independently in years to come.

“This event will help clear up any confusion residents may have about the renewal process,” said State Representative Jaime Andrade (D-Chicago). “I am grateful we are able to work with IDFPR so our constituents have the opportunity to ask questions about their professional license renewal directly to IDFPR professionals.”
