About each permit
Certificate of Registration (Form REG-1)
No amount is shown because the Department charges none — its registration page and its own step-by-step publication walk every stage of the process without a payment step. That is an absence-based finding: no Illinois page states "free" in words, so no sentence is quoted for it. Register online and the account number arrives in one to two business days; on paper it takes four to six weeks. The certificate must be displayed at the place of business it covers. Several add-on schedules — liquor, cigarette and tobacco, motor fuel — attach to the same form and do carry their own license fees.
