Illinois wholesale drug distributors and manufacturers must post a $100,000 bond as part of their license through the Department of Financial and Professional Regulation (IDFPR). This bond is priced on review — submit your details and an underwriter returns your price.
















Enter your amount, submit, and get your price from underwriting — then file with IDFPR. Here is the whole thing:
Your business details, the bond amount your license requires, and the effective date — that is the entire application. It collects no credit information.
An underwriter reviews your application and returns your price. If a credit check is needed for your file, it is a soft pull that never affects your score.
Submit the executed bond with your wholesale drug distributor license application or renewal to IDFPR. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the state insists.
Illinois licenses wholesale drug distributors — including manufacturers, repackagers, own-label distributors, brokers, drug warehouses, and pharmacies that wholesale — through the Department of Financial and Professional Regulation (IDFPR) under the Wholesale Drug Distribution Licensing Act (225 ILCS 120). Anyone distributing prescription drugs into, out of, or within the state needs a license, and each physical facility is licensed separately.
As part of that licensure, the IDFPR rules at 68 Ill. Admin. Code 1510 require each distributor to submit a bond — or equivalent security the Department approves — in the amount of $100,000. The bond stands behind the distributor's compliance with the Act and protects the state against losses, including unpaid fees, penalties, or costs tied to violations.
Because the application field is open rather than locked, you enter the amount your specific license requires — for the great majority of distributors that's the standard $100,000. If IDFPR has set a different figure for your situation, enter that. This bond is priced on review: the application collects no credit information, and an underwriter returns your price.
Submit the application with your required bond amount — an underwriter reviews your file and returns your price, ready to file with IDFPR.
