Illinois PE Renewal Deadline and Cycle
Illinois PE licenses renew every 2 years. Renewals are due November 30 of odd-numbered years. So, currently, the next deadline is November 30, 2027.
IDFPR sends renewal notices to the address on file, but the responsibility to renew on time rests entirely with the licensee. A license that lapses after the deadline requires reinstatement fees on top of the standard renewal cost. Completing your PDH well before November 30 eliminates that risk.
