Details for Illinois distributor licensing security

The current statute requires the $2,500 bond with the application through June 30, 2027 and keeps it effective during the licensed period. Each business place has a separate license application; REG-4-A instructions require separate security per location and the exact registered name/physical address.

From July 1, 2027, section 4 no longer requires an application bond. IDOR must discharge the surety/release and return security within ninety days after that date if the taxpayer is not delinquent or deficient in tax payment. That future statutory release is different from REG-4-A's registered/certified conditional-cancellation notice and ninety-day liability period.

Submit the original signatures, seals and original power of attorney required by REG-4-A. Use the actual entity's signature rule: corporate president/secretary, two partners, sole proprietor, or one LLC manager/member, with the stated same-person corporate-officer exception. Surety attorney-in-fact authority and any applicable independent-agent countersignature must match.

Current cigarette returns/supporting schedules and payments are electronic; stamp purchases use EFT. Distributor licensing also has separate manufacturer/escrow-compliance and registration requirements. Neither a bond nor an order payment completes those obligations.
