***ALERT FOR LICENSEES***

Licensees, we want to warn you of a new scam that might try to target your personal information. The scammers send you a letter that appears to be from IDFPR, stating your license has been suspended. You are then asked to call a phone number included in the letter.

IDFPR uses a deliberate enforcement process and does not suspend licenses just by sending a letter. If you receive a letter like this, do not call the phone number.

You can confirm the status of your license by using IDFPR’s licensing lookup tool: https://online-dfpr.micropact.com/lookup/licenselookup.aspx

Join us in celebrating Juneteenth today! This holiday, the oldest commemoration of the ending of slavery in the United States, marks the day when the last enslaved people finally learned in 1865 that they were free from the institution of slavery. This happened almost two years after the Emancipation Proclamation was issued by President Abraham Lincoln.

In observance of Juneteenth, our offices are closed today. They will reopen on Tuesday, June 20.
