What does the Certificate of Registration or License look like?

Our current Certificate of Registration or License, also known as Illinois Business Authorization, has an image of Illinois in the background.

The following information is printed on your Certificate of Registration or License:

  • Illinois Account ID or License Number
  • Business name
  • Doing business as (DBA) name, if applicable
  • Address
  • Location code, if applicable
  • Issued date

When it is mailed to you, your Certificate of Registration or License is accompanied by a “Taxpayer Notification, Business Authorization” cover letter.
