How Illinois Real Estate Salesperson license verification works

A Real Estate Salesperson in Illinois is licensed by the IL Real Estate Commission. PrimaryCheck looks the license up live at the board's public verification system (board lookup) by license number, or by name when no number is supplied. The record the board publishes is captured as evidence, hashed, and rendered into a proof PDF.

Fields returned for this board: status expires issued effective license_type discipline_actions data_as_of.
