Is NASW-IL the licensing board for Social Workers in Illinois?
No, NASW-IL is not the licensing board, nor are we a liaison between the licensing board and licensed social workers in the state. The Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation is the licensing board for the State of Illinois. You may contact IDFPR to request an application for your LSW or LCSW at 217.782.8556. Please keep in mind, the line may be busy, so patience is necessary. To download an application, look up current licenses, view the Social Work Act, or for more information visit www.idfpr.com.
