“Businesses these days are looking for ways to
be more efficient and effective with their time and resources,”
said Ag Director Raymond Poe. “Our goal should be to make doing
business in the state of Illinois easier, not more difficult.
Utilizing digital technology, we will be able to increase
efficiencies for all parties, reduce costs and provide a
positive experience for our customers.”
Beginning this week, the Bureau will mail out renewal notices to
all current licensees in compliance with the Illinois Animal
Welfare Act. Included in the letter will be instructions on how
to renew a license online, as well as a sample to serve as a
tutorial.

5200 licenses each year in accordance with the Animal Welfare
Act. The following licenses will be available for online renewal
under this pilot program: Pet Shop Operator, Cattery Operator,
Dog Dealer, Kennel Operator, Animal Control, Animal Shelter,
Horse Rescue and Guard Dog Service.
Those wishing to renew their license may do so by visiting
